I’m Jimmy Smutek

I’m a web developer, musician, and general tech nerd from Baltimore, Maryland. I’m a dad, a husband, and a late life diagnosed autistic. My interests include computers, computer programming, info-sec, digital art, and electronic music production.

I’ve been disabled since 2020 when I had a manic episode after spending too much time in a toxic work environment where I was gaslit and harassed by my teammate and my manager. I have a lot of challenges now and I miss my career but I’ve been making progress and I am hoping to get back to working on the web soon. I like to make electronic music with my drum machines and synths, and I’m a tech and computer nerd in general so I enjoy learning about programming, information security, and operating systems as a hobby. I’m a Mac user but I also nerd out a lot on various flavors of Linux. Python is my favorite language but I can also program with PHP and JavaScript. This is my personal blog. I also have a development related blog at smutek.net.
