I do a little [drawing](https://www.artstation.com/nickdumas) now and then but my big artistic focuses are music and tabletop gaming with an emphasis on systems that decrease the power imbalance between the facilitator and players. I make weird abstract tracks with [bespoke synth](https://www.bespokesynth.com/) and have a weekly game session where we try out new game systems and regularly rotate through who's running what.

I've got [~20 years experience](/resume.pdf) in software engineering and system administration, roles which call for attention to detail, the ability to recall and synthesize information in novel ways, as well as identifying problems and breaking them down into specific actionable goals.

Sometimes the problems they solve are foreseen and sometimes they surprise you.
