Hi, I'm Joe Waine
Design engineer in New York. I build software that works beautifully — from AI-powered products to native macOS apps. Currently at Fractal Tech.

Wainestock
A free, DIY music festival I organized and ran at Volunteer Park Amphitheater in Seattle from 2018 to 2023. Three days, 20+ acts, butterflies on the website, bubble wands in the grass, and everything paid for out of pocket. People called it "a basement show in a lovely park setting" and "late summer cottagecore." It's on pause while I'm in New York, but I'd love to bring it back when the time is right.
