I'm a software developer and resident of Northern California. This is my personal website. I have a tendency to tinker, and here you'll find lots of evidence of that! Here I point you to projects that I've done for work and for pleasure and share some things that I find interesting.

Shoegaze coder and KEXP superfan. Skating, making (@agent.io), expanding my world with music, and happy to be with my many intelligent and thoughtful friends who are now on Bluesky. He/him and 📡 timburks.99
I see lots of discussion about moving from PDS to PDS, which is great. But in the long term, I have misgivings about using an identity whose rotation keys are controlled by someone else, and even if we remove the bsky keys after migrating, they are still at the root of any DID they created.
It's true that plc.directory is a single source now, but I think that's fixable. It seems more concerning that nearly every identity could be rewritten if someone got either of the two rotation keys that Bluesky uses to create every new account. agent.io/posts/risks-of-did-plc
