Developer Musician Prague

I'm a full-stack developer with over twenty years building for the web. These days I work primarily with TypeScript, Go, and Python, and I'm a core contributor to open-source projects focused on decentralization and the open web — most notably Kosmos, Sockethub, and remoteStorage.

Outside of code, I play banjo, fiddle, drums, and various electronic instruments across several bands and solo projects, and I led a documentary series filming musicians in Senegal.

Music & Film

Music has been part of my life since I was young — old-time, punk, electronic, and plenty in between. These days I play in a handful of projects around Prague and beyond, and record solo electronic stuff as Hurphendale. In 2019 a trip to Senegal turned into a documentary project that I'm still working on.
