I'm Jonathan Harford

I'm a full-stack engineer with over 8 years building scalable systems in Clojure, TypeScript, and SvelteKit. I'm a fan of event-driven architectures and functional programming.

🚲️ Bicycling

Member of Bike East Bay. The only form of exercise that doesn't make me instinctively rebel is realizing I might be late while I'm riding.

🎭️ Acting & Improv

I spent ten years in New York, trying to make it there... with very minor success. Do I have dreams of doing more? Only occasionally. I still take the occasional improv class. Improv does strange things to one's brain.

🧠 Artificial Intelligence

My excitement about AI is tempered by the fact that so many of my favorite public figures can't stand it. But oh man it has the potential to solve all our problems, if humanity can hold it together. I will talk anyone's ear off about this subject.

🍽️ Dinner Parties

I have, at certain times, been a devout Crappy Dinner Party practitioner. Big parties are a nightmare. One-on-one is pretty great, but can be intense. I'm all about the 4-8 person sweet spot. Not going to forget any names, and everyone hears all my jokes.

🕊️ Antifa Reserve Officer

At every opportunity I will point out how important it is we fight for democracy and against corruption.
