I am a software engineer with a passion for simplicity. I channel that passion into crafting solutions that are here to make your life a whole lot easier.
I have strong interests in distributed systems, full-stack development, API development, container orchestration, infrastructure management, and building performant, cost-effective cloud-native applications.
When I am not trying to make your life easier, I am often either learning some new, bleeding edge technology, contributing to open source projects, noodling on the guitar, or catching up on my backlog of engineering books.
