❡ BACKGROUND

Raised on video games and second helpings. These days I split my time between two small kids, a loaded barbell, a code editor, and an ever-growing pile of LEGO. Usually in that order, occasionally all at once. I build boring, durable software for a living, chase PRs for fun, and assemble four-thousand-piece sets at the kitchen table on weekends.

IDEALS

Boring tech wins. Ship small, ship often, sleep at night.

BONDS

Wife, two kids, a loaded barbell, and an ever-growing pile of LEGO. Everything else is negotiable.

FLAWS

Will refactor perfectly good code at 1am ‘real quick.’ Also: can’t resist buying LEGO sets ‘for the kids’ that are absolutely not.
