Hello

I’m Brian Kerr: human-internet duct tape for hire in Ann Arbor, MI.

I develop Django-based web apps and sites that fit my clients’ needs like comfortable gloves in a Michigan winter; I’m always on the lookout for interesting work or unusual projects.

About the name

“A setting that is full of chairs, all slightly different, immediately creates an atmosphere which supports rich experience; a setting which contains chairs that are all alike puts a subtle straight jacket on experience.”

A Pattern Language, C. Alexander (1977)
