About Me

It means something being from New Jersey. It means you have a sense of humor.
— Anthony Bourdain

I'm your typical programmer/musician with a ton of hobbies, including biking, history, electronics, and spicy food. By day I work for NBCUniversal (née CNBC) as an engineering manager. Nights and weekends I do music, including sound at one of the best bars (and with some of the best people) I've ever stumbled upon, The Laundromat in Morristown, NJ. I also play bass in a blues rock band, Kru Kerly, which is based out of my hometown of Jersey City, NJ.

About This Site

Design

KISS. It also has a light and dark mode, but you don't have to click a button for it; it uses a media query to detect what you have your OS set to.

Fonts

I used a type scale based on perfect fourths for the sizing. I wanted to use the golden ratio or perfect fifths, but the size gets too huge too quickly.

Headings: B612

This font was developed by AirBus to have high visibility on airplane cockpit screens, which is just about the coolest thing I've ever heard about a font. I'd love to use it as a programming font (there's a monospace version), but the parentheses look far too close to square brackets.

Body: Inter

I found this font from this fascinating Quora answer. The site has some super interesting info as well.

Code: Berkeley Mono

Never thought I'd pay for a coding font, but I love its retro look, and I was able to get a 7 with a slash through it.
