# Sean Behan

> Sean Behan — senior full-stack developer in Ontario, Canada. Rust, TypeScript, NixOS and Cloudflare Workers; open to full-time work, remote or GTA hybrid.

https://seanbehan.ca is the writing — posts, pages and the résumé of Sean Behan.
https://codebam.ca is the work — open-source projects, products and services. One
repository, one database, two front doors: each origin answers requests for
the other's sections with a 301 to the canonical URL, so follow redirects
rather than guessing which door serves what.

How to fetch this site:

- Entries that live in the database answer in three forms of one stored
  source: the HTML page, a markdown document, and JSON. That is every post
  (`/posts/<slug>`). Append `.md` or
  `.json` to the entry's URL, or request it with `Accept: text/markdown` or
  `Accept: application/json`. HTML stays the answer for browsers, for
  `*/*`, and for any client that does not name a format — there is no
  user-agent sniffing to trip over.
- Everything else is HTML only, and appending a suffix is a 404 rather than a
  variant. The section pages — the home page, `/about`, `/contact` and
  `/links`, plus `/projects`, `/products` and `/services` on the work
  origin — are hand-written templates with no stored entry behind them; the
  archive `/posts` and the tag index `/posts/tags` are navigation over the
  entries. A post's markdown and JSON hang off the post's own URL, never the
  archive's. The résumé is the one section page that also answers as a
  document (below).
- The markdown forms open with a metadata header (canonical URL, author,
  published and updated dates, tags, reading time) and carry the body with
  fenced code and absolute image URLs. The JSON forms hold the same facts as
  fields, the markdown body in `content`, and the page's heading anchors in
  `sections`.
- Content pages advertise their alternates with `<link rel="alternate">` and
  this file with `<link rel="describedby">`.
- The RSS feed carries the full text of recent posts in `content:encoded`,
  which answers questions about the corpus in one request rather than ten.
- Unpublished drafts appear in no list, feed or file here; a draft's URL
  still renders if you already hold it, marked noindex.

## Writing

- [All posts](https://seanbehan.ca/posts): the archive, newest first, with the title search over it.
- [Post feed](https://seanbehan.ca/rss.xml): recent posts with full text, HTML.
- [Tags](https://seanbehan.ca/posts/tags): the topic index with counts; each tag has its own feed under https://seanbehan.ca/posts/tag/.
- [Search](https://seanbehan.ca/search.json): ranked slugs for a query in `?q=`; words are matched over titles, descriptions, tags and bodies.
- [Résumé](https://seanbehan.ca/resume.md): the CV in its source markdown — the same file the HTML page, the PDF and the plain text are generated from. The PDF is https://seanbehan.ca/resume.pdf; the plain text is https://seanbehan.ca/resume.txt.

## Work

- [Projects](https://codebam.ca/projects): case studies of the software that runs, with what each one had to survive.
- [Products](https://codebam.ca/products): paid work, with prices.
- [Services](https://codebam.ca/services): what kind of engagements are taken on.
- [Contact](https://seanbehan.ca/contact): the forms and the address.
