donatj/README.md

Hello!

I am a PHP, Go and TypeScript developer based in Minneapolis.

I work across the entire stack, but I’m happiest in the backend. Moving data, pushing bytes around, making things fast.

I ❤️ tiny reusable parts with single responsibilities and no side effects. I keep code simple, clear, and easy for anyone to read.

I’ve spent fifteen years in EdTech keeping old systems running and new ones from catching fire. Before that I built industrial and B2B tools where things had to work because people depended on them.

What I've been up to recently

I’ve been experimenting with picopass, a TinyGo project that turns a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W into a small physical keyboard for typing time, a stored password, or a freshly generated TOTP code. It’s deliberately a toy rather than a security product, but it has been a fun way to combine Wi‑Fi time sync, USB HID, and simple hardware input. (github.com)

What I have been thinking about

I’ve also been thinking about practical platform trade-offs—especially where macOS support can matter most—and about coding tools that can turn a clear request into useful code with minimal back-and-forth.
