About

I’m Pat Gaffney, a software developer in St. Louis. I studied computer science at a small college you’ve never heard of — while there I earned a pathetic but acceptable GPA. Now I build full-stack apps for a giant agricultural company.

About hypepat

The term hypepat is kind of a joke — “hi pat”. But I have been known to be unusually energetic, mostly about the wrong things.

As far as the site itself, some facts:

• designed and not-tested on a 2016 TouchBar Macbook Pro.
• coded in TextMate.
• syntax highlighting via Pygments.
• less markup, more markdown thanks to the most high.
• built using Jekyll, the infamous Ruby static site engine.
• domain purchased and managed through Hover.
• hosted on a FreeBSD VPS at Digital Ocean.

Elsewhere

I exist elsewhere on the internet:

Or, you could email me (but please don’t).

Thanks for reading.
