My name’s Paddy. I live in Tri-Cities, Washington with my husband, Ethan, our puppy, Roxy, and our son, Lucas. I write software, give talks, and inflict my opinions on anyone who will listen.

I believe software engineers have a responsibility to their users, and that we have a responsibility to not make things that will do harm.

I often spend a lot of time, energy, and money on writing software to solve minor annoyances, because I’m offended on principle.
