I'm Chris! I write code, I make things, and I parent.</p><p>My posts are generally about a few key areas: <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Programming</span></a>, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a>, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Parenting</span></a>.</p><p>As far as programming, I mostly focus on <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DotNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DotNet</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CSharp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CSharp</span></a> professionally, with a smattering of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/WebDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WebDev</span></a> using <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TypeScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TypeScript</span></a>. For my "not professional" development, I do a lot of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameDev</span></a> in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Godot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Godot</span></a> (usually using C#, though not always!), and I adore <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FunctionalProgramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FunctionalProgramming</span></a>, particularly in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FSharp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FSharp</span></a>, but also in many other languages! I stream software and game development on Twitch at <a href="https://twitch.tv/b4ux1t3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">twitch.tv/b4ux1t3</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>. The schedule on there is not currently correct (January 2025), but should be soon.</p><p>When it comes to ham radio, I mostly focus on <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DigitalModes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalModes</span></a>, though I do a little bit of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/POTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>POTA</span></a> and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SOTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SOTA</span></a> (well, I want to, anyway!). I'm a big user of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/APRS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APRS</span></a> and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PacketRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PacketRadio</span></a>.

If you'd like my callsign, feel free to DM me. I do not list it publicly, but I'm not shy about handing it out in a more private setting.</p><p>Regarding TTRPG, I'm mostly a forever GM who runs <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ShadowdarkRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShadowdarkRPG</span></a>, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BladesInTheDark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BladesInTheDark</span></a>, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MorkBorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MorkBorg</span></a> and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Mausritter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mausritter</span></a>, though I love most <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OSR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OSR</span></a> games and often mix and match rules and stuff. I don't _hate_ <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DnD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DnD</span></a>, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/dnd5e" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dnd5e</span></a> or otherwise, it's just not the sort of thing I enjoy running.
