I’m an author, software development consultant and once a business co-founder.
Most recently, I spent two years working on software that helps individuals and businesses estimate and reduce their carbon footprint. I led a team that developed a new product using Elixir, Phoenix and LiveView.
In the open source world, I promote Elm and run several projects to make it easier for people to learn it and use it:
- I was the editor of Elm Weekly, a weekly Elm newsletter, from 2018 to 2021.
- I created and maintain Elm Catalog to help people find Elm packages & tools.
- I made a tool to generate JSON decoders and encoders from a JSON sample.
- I created a showcase for elm-ui to help people get started with
mdgriffith/elm-ui - I made Elmstatic, a static site generator for Elm
- I’m the author of the Practical Elm book
- I’m the author of elm-ui: The CSS Escape Plan, a guide to
mdgriffith/elm-ui - I wrote about Elm on my blog (35+ posts as of last count).
In between my Elm work, I occasionally created Pluralsight courses for software developers and contributed to powertrip.earth to help speed up the transition to electric vehicles. I also wrote a book about working with time in PostgreSQL.
In the past, I co-founded a company to visualise geospatial data for the heavy construction industry in order to improve safety and productivity when building roads, tunnels and other infrastructure.
In the more distant past, I worked on a wide range of software, from early mobile applications back in the days of Palm Pilot and Windows CE, to a flight simulator to guidance software for construction machinery like bulldozers, excavators and even self-driving kerb laying machines (which are massive things 4 metres tall!).
