My name is Maurice, I am a software engineer,
father, creative, and lover of all things sad and
desperate.
This website is not a professional place, just somewhere I feel comfortable exposing
a little of my inner being to the wider internet, in the hopes that it makes others
feel normal in their own skin. At the same time it is for me mostly, and if I feel
better after posting here, it has done its job.
Dawa is arabic for medicine, or cure. My implication
with that is I found the cure to my addictions through code. Although saying that, it
was definitely from becoming a father.
