I am Glenn Turner. I am a web developer, app author, writer, and more.
I’ve spent years working on services and API solutions for top grossing games & apps, especially with crossword puzzles.
If you’ve downloaded a crossword puzzle to your device, more than likely I had a hand in getting it there.
I also provide email, app, and web puzzle distribution and subscription services for crossword authors such as AVCX, Crosswords Nation and The Inkubator!
My server-side time is split between Ruby on Rails and PHP. However, like any modern web worker, I also spend a lot of time working with front-end frameworks. Right now, I usually reach for Vue.
I’ve also developed crosswords apps for platforms that jumped the gun with native Javascript such as Crosswords Daily and the award-winning Crosswords for webOS apps.
In my spare time I channel the olden days of media blogging via my genre/medium-agnostic site Mediaclature.
I used to find time to write about games, which caught the attention of the BBC, Kotaku, Newsweek, Slashdot, Wired, and others.
