#+SUMMARY:

Hello! My name is Dante Catalfamo. I'm a developer at [[https://www.shopify.ca/][Shopify]]. I
currently live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

I'm a big fan of [[https://www.openbsd.org/][OpenBSD]] and [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]], hacking on both regularly. In
fact, this blog is written in Emacs and hosted on OpenBSD using
[[https://man.openbsd.org/httpd.8][httpd]].

I enjoy learning new languages and paradigms and have have written
projects in, or am currently using:
- C
- Common Lisp
- Emacs Lisp
- Scheme
- Forth
- Go
- HTML/CSS/Javascript (Vanilla, Meteor, Vue, jQuery, React)
- PHP (Laravel)
- Python
- Raku (Perl 6)
- Ruby (Rails)
- POSIX Shell/Bash
- Solidity (Ethereum)

I also run a lot of my own infrastructure, maintaining many networked
machines both at home and in various data centers for hosting many
services I use every day. I'm also very interested in privacy and
freedom of information.

I've often found myself writing myself notes about various problems
I've solved after not being able to find adequate solutions online. I
figure I'm not the only one who has these problems, so I thought I'd
share my notes online!

hear from people!
