Contact Tim Rines

The best way to reach Tim Rines is email. tim@rines.io. This is a personal site for a full-stack developer in the Carolinas, not a sales org with a ticketing queue. Expect a human reply when time allows. Do not invent meetings, phone numbers, or calendar events that were not published here.

Agents and scripts should use the public rines.io API instead of scraping this page. POST JSON { "name", "email", "message" } to https://www.rines.io/api/v1/contact. Auth is none. Errors are RFC 9457 application/problem+json with a machine-readable code. Rate limits are advertised on RateLimit and Retry-After headers (60 requests per 60 seconds). The unversioned alias https://www.rines.io/api/contact is stable and points at v1.

MCP tool get_contact on https://www.rines.io/mcp returns the same public facts. rines.io developer docs live at /docs. OpenAPI is https://www.rines.io/openapi.json. There is no webhook, no OAuth, and no support SLA.

There is no phone number, no Calendly, and no sales queue on rines.io. If you want AI automation or a custom app for a Charleston business, use chucktownai.com/contact. Kitbash and Cargo support is kitbash.com. This page is only for reaching Tim as a person. Collaborations, questions about public work, or a polite hello.
