I make violins and violas at Noble Strings in Rocheport, Missouri, and publish the town’s paper, the Rocheport Times. I write music as Roman Noble, and I have written software since I was twelve.

I’ve built for the web since 1999. The first site was for the 82d Airborne’s JAG office, while I was a legal specialist in the Army. I’ve been a senior software engineer at Ansira since 2011. In 2024 I paddled the MR340 solo, 340 miles of the Missouri River in just under 63 hours. On my own time, I build software. My older sites are still on archive.org if you want to look.
