Hi! I’m Joel Dueck, a fractional CTO, and a designer of small books and small websites (a publishing nerd).
My spare-time programming skills mostly support a practice of making elegant and effective artifacts on the web and in print (Projects).
I live in Minnesota with my wife Jessica and two children.
