I'm a senior software engineer and tech lead who genuinely enjoys building things and understanding how they work, tinkering with code both on and off the clock. My goal is to create clean, maintainable software and help other engineers do the same.

• ⚙️ Day-to-day, I'm leading a team, designing APIs, and wrangling backend services.
• 📐 I'm always digging into software architecture, design patterns, and language-specific details to write better code.
• 🚀 Lately, I've been writing as much Go as I can get away with and exploring newer tools like Deno.

Go

C++

Python

C#

Docker

I've been a professional software engineer for over 7 years. My career has been a tale of two halves:

• The first half was deep in C++ and Qt, building and maintaining large-scale desktop applications.
• The latter half has been focused on the backend and cloud modernization efforts. I've been building microservices and modernizing applications using a mix of Go, Python, and C#; but mostly Go. This has also involved a healthy amount of API development and DevOps work with tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm.

When I'm not on the clock, I'm usually working on one of these projects:

• Voxel Game Engine: Slowly but surely building a game engine from scratch with C++ and Vulkan.
• TUI Applications: Creating simple and useful terminal user interfaces with Go.
• Homelab: Tinkering with my personal servers and network setup. It's the best way to learn about infrastructure. If you're curious, just ask me about my Homelab! I promise you, I will talk for hours about it.
• Godot Games: Prototyping small game ideas with the Godot Engine.
• Learning: Always picking up something new. Currently, that's Rust for systems programming and getting reacquainted with Javascript via React.
