James Galyon
Ambassador to Selma
Developer | Tech Enthusiast | Diplomat
Welcome to my corner of the web. I’m a Selma, Alabama-based developer and technologist with a passion for building, testing, and exploring the digital frontier. From coding retro-inspired games in Python and React to managing self-hosted security via Vaultwarden, I thrive at the intersection of creativity and complex problem-solving.
The Diplomatic Beat
In a unique turn of events, I am proud to serve as a Diplomat for the United Territories of the Sovereign Nation of People’s Republic of Slowjamastan, representing the interests of the Republic right here in Selma, AL. Whether I’m navigating the nuances of micronation diplomacy or local community engagement, I bring a spirit of curiosity and “Pultanistan” pride to everything I do.
Beyond the Code
When I’m not exploring the latest Google Pixel features or beta-testing new software, you’ll likely find me:
- On the Road: Behind the wheel of my Ford Explorer, likely heading toward the Blue Ridge Mountains for a family gathering or exploring the historic Old West towns of Arizona.
- In the Stands: Catching live performances from legends like Styx or RUSH.
••At the Table: Searching for the ultimate BBQ—with a particular soft spot for the local gems in Alabama.
I believe in balancing the cutting edge with the timeless, whether that’s through my membership in the Second Indianhead Division Association or my recent journey back into a dedicated fitness regimen.
