The Floating Continent

I'm Alex Petros, and this is my website!

I'm a Core Maintainer for htmx, a rapidly-growing JavaScript library that extends the basic principles of HTML to network requests
My friend Morry and I make internet art projects as the collective We Make Internet
I build software infrastructure for non-software companies, with architectures that can last for years with very little maintenance. You can hire me to do this for you too.
