Open source software
development
I have been a contributor to open-source projects, mostly
Haskell:
xmobar, cabal-install, darcs, string-conv,
TagSoup.
I created and maintain many open-source projects including:
py-mkvenv, epub-tools,
epub-metadata, hsinstall, uacpid, hscrtmpl, photoname.
Over 50K lines of original code in Haskell alone.
These projects are hosted and documented in detail on github.
I run the Haskell Meetup in downtown Raleigh, NC.
I am experienced in epub creation and maintain the epub edition
of
“(Nothing But) Flowers”
