River MacLeod

Nomadic Hacker

I'm a full stack generalist, who can work with anything from designing business processes, through front end and back end development, to DevOps, operations, infrastructure design, and pulling network cable. I travel, and live on a sailing boat.

I'm interested in correct, secure code, and doing things properly, even if it takes longer.
