Welcome to my little patch of the internet!

Hey there! I’m Caleb, a houseplant enthusiast, tabletop RPG player, board game lover, programmer, and coffee drinker.

About me

I’m a software engineer currently working at GitButler in Germany, where I help build developer tools that make working with Git more intuitive.

• Projects - Added a projects page which goes over some of the things I've been working on outside of my job.

Background

I come from Jersey - not the newfangled kind from America, but the small island in the English Channel (or “La Manche” as the neighbors would prefer), about 15 miles from France and 100 miles from England.

I eventually moved to England where I did my A-Levels. It was about this time I found some friends who introduced me to TTRPGs - to this day I still play with this group. Over the summer holiday of my A-Levels I spent two months working at The Idea Bureau, a small software agency where I gained some of my first professional experience.

After completing my A-Levels, I chose to not go to university and started working for a wonderful company called Storm Consultancy. There I learned Ruby on Rails, worked on a variety of client projects, and grew from a junior into a mid-level software engineer. After two years at Storm, I moved to Germany to join GitButler, where I work on building the next generation of Git client tools.

These days I spend my time working across the stack - from Rust and TypeScript to Svelte and Tauri - building features that help developers manage their code more effectively. Outside of work, I enjoy tinkering with my monorepo and building small tools that scratch various itches.

What is this website?

This website can be thought of as a magpie’s nest. A collection of things that seem interesting, notes, small projects, and experiments. I previously had a website which was meant to be some sort of fancy portfolio for employers or something, but realistically, that had no use to anyone - including myself! I’ve also had a growing desire to have a platform where I can just put stuff out, without participating in congested social media platforms, so this version of the website was born.

Keeping content up to date

While I will endeavor to provide accurate and up to date information, I am unfortunately finite in my capacity. I try to maintain timestamps at the top of each page so you can gauge how relevant the information still is.

Spotted a mistake?

If you have spotted a mistake or a broken link, I would be keen to hear about it. Feel free to contact me at [email protected].
