Hello.

I'm a computer programmer working on the backend of distributed systems at scale, mostly in C#. I build and integrate APIs across AWS, supporting ~60 million active users globally via Kubernetes. I also wade through respectably large data lakes to find trends that shape product direction.

Prior to this, I worked at a life-science robotics company. It was a small team, so I had hands-on exposure to frontend (robotics UI/UX), embedded backend (the system itself), and technical robotics (calibration, process, shipping, testing). I worked across many tech stacks, but primarily in C++, C#, and Go.

I spend the majority of my free time programming too. I'm interested in low-level programming, specifically obsessing over performance and optimization. I'm a strong believer in the idea that modern programming makes things more complex than they need to be, and that this has had pretty devastating consequences regarding software usability. Most of my time is spent on learning and writing code in the domains of graphics programming, game development, developer tooling, and emulation. I am also interested in exploring upcoming systems languages, which has culminated in specific interest in the development of the Zig programming language.

I also maintain a blog and self-host a git instance.

Outside of tech, I’ve been a multi-instrumentalist and producer for over a decade, and have trained in MMA for a similar timeframe—mostly BJJ, Muay Thai, and wrestling.

That's it. If interested in collaboration, please send an email to [email protected].
