Hi, I’m Brian Hamilton.

I’m an award-winning humanities professor turned software engineer. Email me at brian@bdhamilton.com.

I grew up in Harrisonburg, Virginia. After a decade in Indiana and nearly a decade in Florida, I’m finally heading home. I’m moving to Charlottesville, where my childhood sweetheart runs the local alt-weekly.

I have a Ph.D. in theological ethics from the University of Notre Dame, where I studied under the inimitable Jean Porter. I very happily taught theology, philosophy, and ancient Greek for ten years as a tenured professor at Florida Southern College before losing faith in American higher education.

Now I’m looking for work as a software engineer. I’ve loved coding since high school, and it’s time to get back to it. I’m studying algorithms and web development with the two best teachers in the business, Gordon Zhu and Lily Gentner.

I still write! Right now, I’m working on a book about the inevitability of moral failure.

My personal hero—and I mean this in all earnestness—is Mr. Rogers.
