I am a lifelong learner working in lovely Seattle, Washington as a software developer.
I write services, tooling, and automation in Golang and Python to help manage a security-related cloud service. When I’m not at work, I can generally be found reading, working out, biking, and generally trying to improve myself or learn something new.
See what I’m up to now.
