+## Languages
+
+My current programming language of choice is for most of my projects is [Common
+Lisp][]. I've used it for a variety of projects, including:
+
+[Common Lisp]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp
-My favorite programming language at the moment is [Python][]. It's elegant,
-readable, powerful, and makes it easy to *get things done*.
+* A [CHIP-8 emulator](/blog/2016/12/chip8-cpu/)
+* My [Master's thesis in General Game Playing](https://github.com/sjl/scully)
+* Several [fun Twitter bots](https://github.com/sjl/magitek)
+* A [Prolog VM](https://github.com/sjl/temperance)
+* Lots of [Project Euler problems](https://github.com/sjl/euler)
+* An [entry in August 2016 Lisp Game Jam](http://stevelosh.com/blog/2016/08/lisp-jam-postmortem/)
+* An [entry in Icelandic Game Industry Community Game Jam](https://github.com/sjl/antipodes)
+
+I also gave [a talk](https://youtu.be/UfZvP0v3NbM) at the 2017 European Lisp
+Symposium in Brussels about General Game Playing with Common Lisp.
+
+I've also had significant professional experience programming with [Python][],
+[Django][], [Scala][], [Clojure][], [Java][], [PostgreSQL][], [MySQL][], and
+lots of various glue languages like [bash][].
-I've also had experience with [Java][], [C][], [C++][], [Lisp][], [SQL][] and
-[PL/SQL][], [JavaScript][], [Groovy][], and [bash scripting][]. I've used a
-number of markup and templating languages, including [XHTML][], [XML][],
-[CSS][], [JSON][], [Markdown][], [Django][]'s template system, and [Jinja2][].
+I've had some professional experience with frontend languages like
+[JavaScript][], [CSS][], [HTML][], and [Django][]'s template system, but I don't
+consider myself a frontend developer and prefer to work mostly on the backend
+side of things.
+
+I have some passing familiarity with [C][], [C++][], [Scheme][], [Groovy][],
+[C#][] (through [Unity][]), but I don't consider myself experienced in any of
+them.
-In my free time I'm working on learning [R][].
+I also wrote [a book](http://learnvimscriptthehardway.stevelosh.com/) about
+[Vimscript][vim], which is freely available online and has sold over a thousand

+## Timeline
-### Web Development
-
-For web development I gravitate toward the [Django][] framework. Django bills
-itself as "The Web framework for professionals with deadlines" and this
-strikes a chord with me.
+### Graduate Student in Computer Science at [Reykjavík University][RU]
-I've used the [CherryPy][] framework for smaller (but still dynamic) projects
-that don't need the additional functionality of Django.
-
-I hate writing repetitive, difficult-to-maintain code. Even when writing
-completely static websites I prefer to take advantage of templating languages.
-To do that I use [Hyde][] and [Blatter][], both of which generate static HTML
-from templates.
+*Reykjavík, Iceland from August 2015 to June 2017.*
-I've used several CSS frameworks including [Blueprint][], [Tripoli][] and
-[aardvark legs][]. Of these I now prefer aardvark legs because it makes
-setting up a beautiful vertical rhythm simple and doesn't impose itself on the
-horizontal layout.
-
-When writing [JavaScript][] I use [jQuery][] to eliminate a lot of the
-tediousness and create elegant code.
+At [RU][] I studied a variety of topics including theoretical computer science,
+natural language processing, Prolog VM implementation, and video game
+design and development. I also wrote and defended a Master's thesis in the field of
+General Game Playing.

+### Senior Software Engineer at [Simple][]
-### Version Control
-
-I think version control is essential for a project of almost any size, and
-lately the concepts behind it have captured my interest.
-
-In my personal work I use [Mercurial][] (usually with [BitBucket][]). I've
-[contributed][] several minor patches to the Mercurial core and written two
-extensions: [hg-prompt][] and [hg-paste][].
-
-I know my way around [Subversion][], [CVS][], and [git][] as well.

+At [Simple][] I worked on the Backend Engineering team creating and maintaining

+on-call rotation during my time there.
-### How I Work
+[Simple]: https://simple.com/
+[Scala]: https://www.scala-lang.org/
+[Clojure]: https://clojure.org/
-For my personal work I use [Mac OS X][]. I'm comfortable in [Linux][] and can
-deal with [Windows][] (though I don't enjoy it).
-
-I use [TextMate][] and [vim][] for coding, [CSSEdit][] when designing,
-[Mercurial][] for version control, [t][] to manage my personal tasks, and
-deploy through [SSH][] with [fabric][].

-## Personal Projects
-
-You can find some of my pet projects on the [projects][] page.
-
-Lately I've been working on a few new things that aren't quite ready for
-general use, but are getting close:
+*Remotely from September 2011 to June 2013.*
-* [hg-review][]: a code-review extension for Mercurial.
-* [LindyHub][]: a site like BitBucket or GitHub for dancers.
-* [gorilla][]: a packaging system for Python.
-* [tinpan][]: a language-agnostic, vcs-agnostic continuous integration system.
+At the [PCF][] I helped maintain and extend the [Amara][] subtitling website.
+My work was primarily in [Django][] and [Python][], using [South][] for database
+migrations and [Vagrant][] for development environments.
