About Me

I’m a software developer and devops engineer with a habit of tinkering, learning, and fixing what I break along the way. You name it, I’ve done it - as long as it has to do with technology. I’ve written blazing-fast websites (see: this one), built horizontally-scalable API servers, designed entire content platforms, orchestrated global deployments, maintained both cloud and physical presences across all three of the major PaaS services, managed my own physical servers, written embedded code, designed circuit boards for my projects, and even spent a short time developing my own custom chips. Also, I’m HAM radio licensed, a certified diver, and a rock climber. If you want to see some of what I’ve done, check out a sampling of my work.

If I could sum myself up in a single concept, it would be that I am a jack of all trades. While a master of none, that places me better than a master of one. I pride myself in my ability to solve a problem at any crossroads, rather than having a depth of knowledge in a single subject. I work on the whole problem, and not just the section that applies to a small facet of my knowledge. If it weren’t for that, I would not be in the place I am now. I try to rise up to any task I’m given, rather than staying in my box, as comfy as it may be.
