As I mentioned in my interests, I am on a slow but steady journey learning the banjo. Part of that journey is obviously learning from the masters and absorbing their wisdom. The two best ways to do that are:
One day I was looking in my copy of Masters of the Five String for a playing tip I remembered and I realized how useful it would be to be able to do the same with the interviews from the podcast. I reached out to Keith, the creator, and we started working together to transcribe his episodes.

In mid-2019 there was a lot of discussion about the yield curve as a predictor of recession, but there was no simple way to see whether it was inverted or not (aside from websites geared towards finance experts).
To satisfy my own curiosity about the daily status and historical trends of the yield curve, I created a web application, built with django, which provided a simple visual representation of the daily yield curves with the ability to also drill down into historical trends.

In 2015 I decided to learn Jekyll, so I used that as an excuse to create the first version of my personal website (the one you're reading now).
To get started, I found a theme that I wanted to use, but it didn’t have everything I needed. I forked that theme and extended it to include several new elements for displaying Vertical and Horizontal content, as well as stylistic changes with regard to background color and text color options.

Watch enthusiasts are heavy forum users and they often share their collections in discussions. At the time I started this project, sharing your collection meant uploading your photos to the forum every time you wanted to share - it was a clunky and difficult process which offered a bad experience for both the poster and the viewer.
I created a django application (HackingSeconds.com) which provided watch enthusiasts a shareable public page for their watch collection and a private view which allowed them to capture all the details of their collection (for posterity and insurance purposes). With HackingSeconds, sharing a watch collection on a forum, facebook, etc was as easy as pasting a link.

After explaining Facebook to my mom one too many times, I decided to create a chrome extension that allowed me to create and share tutorials for any website.
With this extension, if my mom wanted to know how to post something on Facebook or send an email in Gmail, I could just click on the area of the web-app in question and fill out a simple form. My mom could then navigate to the page she had trouble with, see an available "tutorial" in the browser extension, select it, and see my instructions as popovers with the text or YouTube video I provided right inside facebook, gmail, etc. The extension also supported multi-step tutorials if the explanation required several steps or features.
This was my first web project, so the code is a mess and the back-end is a simple php script since it was just for me - but you can check out the source here.
My wife, Lucia, and I love traveling together. Initially most of our travel was within the Americas and Europe, but when I was offered the chance to work and live in Sydney, Australia, we jumped at the opportunity and our travel zone expanded quite a bit!
We've now moved back to Boston to be closer to family and settle down with our twin boys - but when we do travel, we do our best to keep our travel diary up to date.
Coming from a technical background, I've found it hard to stay away even while my career has brought me further into the business side of things. I often spend my free time building apps (mostly with Django) that fill a gap I see or that I think would be fun to build or use.
A couple of my recent projects are highlighted above in the projects section.
Music has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. In High School I participated in every ensemble offered (marching band, orchestra, show choir, vocal jazz ensemble, etc), and in college I played with the UMass drumline all four years.
As a drummer, though, city living made practicing pretty much impossible - my neighbors and roommates didn't appreciate my "art" as much as I did. For the last few years I've been slowly but surely learning to play the banjo.
