Hi there! I'm Tim.

I'm a writer, reader, father, and tech geek.
I currently work at The New York Times Wirecutter as a software engineering manager. In my work, I focus on platform engineering, DevOps, and security. I've previously worked as a WordPress developer, computer salesperson, inhouse help desk analyst, and a variety of other roles.
My academic background is in literature, linguistics, and writing. In my non-work time, I enjoy writing essays and fiction, and reading broadly across many genres. I typically average 100 books read per year.
Here's a taste of my reading habits, courtesy of StoryGraph:


I use this site to post unfinished thoughts and attempts at essays. I talk about my work, writing, and mental health (I have ADHD, PTSD, major depression, and anxiety). You can find my latest writing below.
