About Me

My name is Henry J. Webster, hwebs for short. I’m a computer programmer living in Chicago, IL, USA.

I work as a Lead Software Engineer at Prism Data, the leading cash flow underwriting solution. There I’m part of a small but mighty team and wear many hats, from developing to operating to customer-supporting and beyond.

I’m an avid do-it-yourself-er. I got interested in programming because I wanted to build stuff. Yes, I make things with tech, but I also enjoy making music, graphics, photography, and furniture for my apartment.

What is this place?

It’s my own tiny nook of the internet. I try my best to keep hobby projects like this light-hearted: for fun and not profit, unafraid to show some pencil marks.

Why have my own hand-written website in this day and age? My goal is to hack on code and infuse some seriously lacking personality to the Giga-platform-world.

I don’t share often on social media, but I do have a /now page for a glimpse of what I’ve been up to recently. I also have a /blog for longer-form ideas.

A custom website can’t convey a whole person, just like a social media profile can’t. I only hope that the realm beyond the content—its texture and tomfoolery—give unqiue insight into my interests and values that couldn’t happen anywhere else. I encourage everyone to make something like this for themselves (and send it to me.)

Please let me know if you enjoy (or despise!) the site, in person or through my contact info. I don’t track any analytics—this is supposed to be fun—so I have no idea if anybody is looking.
