    Hi, I'm Alistair. I'm a software engineer

    I am an open source enthusiast and I've been called a TypeScript wizard at least a few times. I'm interested in things like language specifications and compiler internals.

    I try to write a blog post every now and then. I do OK at that. Everything is on alistair.blog, but the most recent three are below

    I listen to a lot of music, and I really love my Drum & Bass. If you come back to this page later, you might see what I'm listening to on Spotify, in realtime. In the meantime, you can check out my favourite set of all time on YouTube

    In the rare case I'm not listening to anything, you can usually find me out and about riding my Evolve skateboard, DJing (on YouTube) or trying my hardest to figure out Ableton Live

    I have some fun experiments on this site, some are functional things I use, others are just me messing around. Click here to see them.
    Finally, this site is a recently started WIP. If you have any cool ideas/interactions I should add, reach out! Would love to hear some creative ideas.
