Hello, my name is Jim Barcelona aka Barce.

I am a writer working on my first published novel.

My barce42 account on Bluesky is the best way to get a hold of me. My spam filters are very agressive on email and cell.

I've re-joined Facebook (very reluctantly) & won't message you from there. Be sure to at me or DM me on Bluesky to make sure it's me.

What have I done in my life that I point to with pride?

• I worked on the NBC Olympics website in 2000.
• I worked at GaiaOnline and did the weekly comic in 2006.
• In 2009, I worked on the Nikon Film Festival as a lead developer. It was basically WordPress modded to work like YouTube.
• In 2010, I worked on MyChamberApp and did the backend stuff.
• In 2011, I worked at Machinima and led a team there. We made a badge system so that you could share your gaming accomplishments like k/d ratios on Facebook.
• From 2012 to 2014, I worked on Via.me (now defunct). It was a photo uploading app like Instagram but it also featured a way for DJs to share sound tracks.
• For a long time I was the creator and admin for the AmazonAdApi python pip project. That's defunct.
• I'm also really into Wikipedia. I'm proud of the volunteer work I've done for Wikipedia and Wiktionary as User:Barce.

I love learning, speaking and writing in different languages.
