<h2 class="page__header text--centered">Hi, I'm Cory</h2>

I'm a software developer based in Camarillo, California. I enjoy hanging out with my beautiful family and 4 rescue dogs, technology, automation, [music](https://last.fm/user/coryd_), writing, [reading](https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/coryd), [tv](https://trakt.tv/users/cdransf) and [movies](https://trakt.tv/users/cdransf).

I build, maintain and design web applications. I've been coding professionally since 2010 with a focus on frontend technologies. I help organize [the Eleventy Meetup](https://11tymeetup.dev).

I tend to write about whatever strikes me, with a focus on development, technology, automation or issues I run into with these things. This is all typically light on editing with and heavy on spur of the moment thoughts.
