I found a $454,000 problem in a client's data.

Then I proved myself wrong.

I build inspection and document-automation software for small manufacturers, mostly on my own. This is where I write down what I tried, what the numbers actually said, and which of my own findings didn't survive checking. The retracted ones stay up.

Things I've shipped

About

I'm self-taught, I work alone out of Springfield, Missouri, and I ship more than one person reasonably should by putting a lot of machines to work. The habit I care most about is checking my own numbers before I repeat them to anyone. Say hello: hello@nodexislabs.com
