I'm Deryck Hodge.

Software developer and writer working in news and media in Atlanta.

This is my personal site. It should go without saying, but opinions here are my own.

Before getting into software development, I went to school to be a writer and a teacher. I have an English degree. Writing is ultimately what led me to the web, which is where my career as a software developer was formed. For more on my career, see my LinkedIn profile.

My writing here is mostly about technology and the stories we tell ourselves about tech, but I still share new short stories when I can.

Outside all that, I'm married and have two grown daughters. I love traveling with my family. I grew up in Alabama, lived all over the US South, and now call Atlanta home. If you're curious, I have a post on where the site name "Anderycks" came from.

About this site

This site is a Ghost blog. I made the theme myself. It's a really simplified Ghost theme. I love the editor in Ghost but don't need so many of the other features like tagging or subscription management.
