Current Project List

I’m starting a new job as a software engineer with Deep Genomics next week. I’m looking forward to writing Python for a living again after a decade of doing other things, but hope I’ll be able to wrap up these side projects soon as well:

• running workshops on Managing Research Software Projects

• acting as client and product owner for some projects based on Software Design by Example Using JavaScript for Mike Hoye’s software engineering course at the University of Toronto

• finishing SDXJS and its companion Building Software Together

• finishing the paper “Twelve Quick Tips for Software Design“

• co-authoring a paper on how to make scientific publications more accessible

• co-authoring an update to “Software Carpentry: Lessons Learned“

• publicizing Research Software Engineering with Python

• writing at least two new posts a week on empirical software engineering research for It Will Never Work in Theory

• finishing and submitting a middle-grade novel titled Maddy Roo (furries versus robots with a bit of family drama)

• learning to play the clarinet (because tenosynovitis in my right hand means I have to give up guitar)

• renovating our kitchen (a carpenter is going to do most of the work, but I’m going to help where I can)

• exercising frequently enough to keep my blood pressure at a safe level

• getting my Hive rating up to 300 (if you’d like a game, I’m gvwilson on BGA)
