Bio

Web Development/Software Engineering

I have been a full-stack web developer & designer since 2015, and up until recently ran my own web development company, Temparc Web. More recently I have worked for System1—currently as an Engineering Manager, managing a team of remote and in-office developers. I work with whatever tools get the job done well.

Music

I’ve been releasing music since 2012 on a variety of labels including Wide Angle Recordings, Traum Schallplatten, Strange Town Recordings, Manual Music, Shabu Recordings, and many others. To date, I’ve released two full-length albums, several EPs, and a number of remixes. I recently revived my netlabel Temparc Music in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

My most recent full-length album, Liberation From Excess, is inspired by Niko Paech’s essay of the same name, and was released on my label Temparc Music.

When I lived in Toronto I also worked heavily with the team at StudioFeed/Subpac during their early years.

Writing

In my younger days, I was a music writer for Exclaim! Magazine in Canada from 2011-2014, and also a regular contributor to digital music blog/magazine Earmilk.com from 2010-2013. It seems like music writing peaked in the Rapidshare mp3 blog era. Now on occasion I will publish a post infrequently on my blog.
