About

Hey! I’m Spencer.

About me

  • I grew up in Ohio, went to Ohio State University, moved around a lot, but am currently settled in Chicago.
  • I love hiking and skiing. Cycling has been my replacement since moving to the city.
  • I’m obsessed with fingerstyle guitar, and especially playing polyphonic music on guitar.
  • I used to stream on Twitch in another time and place in my life. I’m a platforming video game aficionado. I’ve beaten dozens of Kaizo Super Mario World rom hacks, and have all of the achievements unlocked in Celeste.

Career

  • I’m currently self employed doing identity consulting and contracting.
  • I worked on Pocket at Mozilla.
  • I led an engineering team and wrote a lot of code at TraitWare.
  • I worked on Jabber and Webex Teams at Cisco.
  • I worked on speech recogniation and language modeling at Think-A-Move.

Contact

I haven’t made a catch-all email or a contact form yet. If the socials in the aside don’t work for you, you could always open a GitHub Issue in this repo to get a hold of me in a pinch.
