Howdy! I'm Gaelan.
I’m passionate about websites, servers, data storage, ambient music, Twin Peaks, the industrial architecture of SOM, lexical and operational clarity, and using the Oxford comma. I make a mean scratch margarita, and will pour you one while telling you why I think Janeway is the best captain.
I’m a web architect, software developer, and systems engineer by trade. For fun, I like to research and write, dabble in portrait and street photography, develop software in both my personal and professional lives, and enjoy public speaking from time to time.
Curious what those three boxes are?
