My name is Evert Pot, and this is my blog!

<p><a href="/evert-gpg.txt">My GPG public key</a>.</p>

I'm a <a href="http://github.com/evert">programmer</a>. I'm mostly focused

on building API's, HTTP-related applications and improving development

processes.

I run a web development agency in Toronto called

<a href="https://badgateway.net">Bad Gateway</a>.

In the past I worked at <a href="https://yelp.com/">Yelp</a>

on REST APIs, co-founded <a href="https://fruux.com/">fruux</a>.

I'm very interested in web standards and served on several

standards boards.

My full professional history is on my <a href="/resume.html">resume</a>.

<h2>Blog archive</h2>

<p>I've been writing blog-posts on and off since 2006. Below you'll find the full

archive. Don't scroll too far though, quality degrades as you go backwards in time.
