Software Developer | Backend | DevOps

Hail, traveler.

I will not bore you with long ancient texts of who I am.

^TLDR: My coworkers know me as a software engineer (with a liking to backend ^[?]), my parents know me as an “IT Guy”, my extended family knows me as their on-call gadget repair guy, and my friends think I can hack Instagram accounts for some reason.

I build scalable APIs and developer CLI tools in Go. And I some times have random 3am motivation to write about things I find interesting.

Oh! hey! you can check out some things I’ve written:
