Email, LinkedIn, GitHub, and a small blog of project writeups can be found on my website at bhmt.dev
General professional background: primarily self taught, through a tinkering habit;[1] spent several years doing various tech ops work, ranging from restaurants to SaaS, before eventually jumping to frontend dev at the latter. Worked in FE-leaning full-stack roles in a couple different fintech companies, but that's more luck of the draw and less any particular attraction to that industry. (I'd like to work in something else, but it's not a hard line.)
Current side project is to automate the act of doomscrolling job boards.[2] I've been building a Tinder clone in my spare time around the results, albeit repeatedly rabbit-holed into various escapades around upstream PRs and efforts to evade bot detection methods.
Other things I tinker with include Llamafile, IoT, creative code,[3] and the occasional CTF puzzle. Areas of curiosity that are not in my background include things like cybersecurity, infra, and eCommerce.
Hard no's: Crypto, military contractors, Amazon, anything owned or operated by Elon Musk.
