Full Stack Engineer with background in education and focus on building reliable, maintainable software. Currently working at Blue Light Card.
I am particularly interested in team owned developer experience (DevX), platform engineering and developer productivity.
I enjoy building tools and personal projects and experimenting with new technologies. I am a strong advocate for learning computing from first principles, with particular interests in assembly programming, digital logic and compiler design. I build a lot of software for personal use that I almost always release for free on Github.
