About Me
updated: September 1, 2025
Hey, I'm Colton! I’m a software engineer living in Austin, TX. I built my first website in 2008 and have never looked back. I like working out, running, fishing, and building cool things.
I created this website after I realized the previous version I had up had not been touched in 4 years. This site is intentionally minimal — content-first, fast, and responsive. The content on this website is mainly for me, but I hope the students I mentor and others might find some of my projects, tutorials, and writing to be helpful in some way.
I hope you enjoy your time on this site and check out some of my notes, projects, or resume while you're here.
What I'm Up To
Currently looking for a new full-time position. Working on a variety of projects, fitness, mentorship, and some fiction reading.

- Training for the Austin Marathon taking place in February of 2026
