About

Two years in and I’ve worked on more than I expected. I like figuring out how things work and finding ways to make them simpler or faster. I’m still early in my career but I pick things up quickly and I’m always looking for a better way to do something.

Beyond work
Guitar

Love everything about guitar and music. Playing, listening, watching. I'm always happy to talk about gear or whatever song I'm currently working on.

Linux & CachyOS

CachyOS daily driver. Linux works well for development and gaming and mostly stays out of my way. KDE, dotfiles on Codeberg. It's a hobby at this point.

Home improvement & Gardening

Always something to fix or build. Good reason to step away from the screen, whether I need to clear my head or just keep my hands busy while I think through a problem.

Side projects

I like working on side projects to learn new languages, tools, and coding philosophies. Games, websites, tools, os tweaks, whatever sounds interesting.
