[about.ray]

I'm Ray. I've been freelancing since 2013 and I keep finding myself at the intersection of culture and technology. Some people never find what they love. I got lucky early. Coding is it for me, always has been. I build software, open source it, drink way too much specialty coffee, and write about it here.
