About
I'm kafkade — a software creator based near the Cascade mountains. I build tools, explore systems, and write about what I learn along the way.
The Name
kafkade is a portmanteau of Kafka — as in Franz Kafka, whose writing explores the absurd, the bureaucratic, and the deeply human — and Cascade, the mountain range that defines the Pacific Northwest landscape where I live and work.
It's a name that sits between literature and terrain, between thinking and building.
What I Do
I build software. I care about clean code, thoughtful architecture, and tools that respect their users. Most of my work is open source and lives on GitHub.
