Ahoy
A thoughtful corner of the internet for work, writing, and rebuilding a life with care.
I'm Wylie: a dad, partner, longtime front-end developer, and systems-minded generalist who cares about clarity, accessibility, useful tools, and the everyday creativity found in gardens, campfires, books, and making things by hand.
These days I’m focused on home, family, small web projects, and figuring out what an honest next chapter looks like. This site is my home base for that work.
A little more about me
Human first, builder second.
I love Lego, books, animals, and the kind of creativity that shows up in kitchens, workshops, and backyards. Our home is shared with two cats, a dog named Meatball, and a few other tiny lives, with chickens still high on the wish list.
I still think like a front-end developer even when the work extends beyond code. I care about structure, clear communication, documentation, fairness, and systems that make life easier for the people using them.
Sometimes that shows up in software, sometimes in operations work, and sometimes in writing through a season of transition. I like things that are practical, handcrafted, and just a little unexpected.
If you're curious about what I’m building, reading, or thinking through, you’ll find it here. The footer is the best place to find me elsewhere or say hello.
