Who Am I?

I live in the United States (Cincinnati, OH) and I’m a Software Engineer happily writing #Elixir for my day job and my hobby projects.

I use this IndieWeb site to write about technologies I’m exploring and lessons I’ve learned in hopes that I can help reduce barriers for anyone else struggling with similar problems or exploring similar ideas.

You can find me in the FediVerse at @ahappydeath@freeradical.zone.

My GPG public key is available on this site and via WKD

What I’m up to

Interests currently include:

• Elixir, Rust, and Zig
• Free/Libre Open Source software
• Building local-first and decentralized software (NOT web3 or crypto) using Open Protocols
• The IndieWeb and the Gemini protocol

My Setup

How this site is built

This site is built with Elixir and Phoenix and can be found on Sourcehut.

I use the NimblePublisher library to generate static content like my Posts which are also syndicated in the fediverse at @silbernagel.dev@silbernagel.dev and also available via RSS.

Support

If you enjoy any of my work or writings and have the means to give back, please consider dontating to your local NO KILL animal shelter or LGBTQ+ charity.

Here are a few that are close to my heart:
