Hi, I'm Roger.
Nice to meet you.

I'm a solo engineer in the San Antonio area. What I enjoy most is creating useful products that make life easier for both myself and the people who use them.

Career

Where I've Worked

Healthcare, government, healthcare, government again, I promise there's no pattern here (or maybe there is). Bouncing between two of the most heavily regulated industries out there taught me more about building secure, compliant software than almost anything else could.

About

A Solo Developer

Don't get me wrong, working on a team has its own kind of flow. But there's something therapeutic about going solo, it gives me the space to think, get creative, and experiment freely.

I like getting into the weeds, figuring out how something works, then rebuilding it better. That mix of curiosity and stubbornness is probably what keeps me doing this for a living.

My main tech stack:

JavaScript
TypeScript
