Software engineer based in Austin, TX. I build tools, write about technology, and care a lot about security. Most of what I ship is open source.
Currently focused on agentic AI developer tooling, documentation systems, and small interactive experiments that live atlogan.center. When I'm not coding, I enjoy video games.
This site is a perpetual work in progress, rebuilt from scratch more times than I can count.
community organizing has been a big part of my life. these are the places i show up and help keep the lights on.
i help organize this php meetup. the php community raised me as an engineer, so running mergephp is how i pay that forward: talks, hallway debugging, and making space for the next person who shows up not knowing anyone yet.
