What You’ll Find Here
This is my personal blog, where I opine about software engineering. You’ll find articles about design patterns, languages, practical applications, AI, leadership, and general engineering philosophy. Hopefully you learn something useful!
Background
I have nearly twenty years of experience in the software industry. I started as a freelance webmaster (‘member those?) and Wordpress engineer back in the late 2000s, followed by stints at various consultancies while earning a bachelors degree. From there I bounced around a variety of industries and company sizes, where I’ve done everyting from UX research to software architecture design and tech leadership.
Currently my focus is on developing e-commerce solutions in Ruby with the fine folks at Shopify.
Areas of Focus
Here is a non-exhaustive unordered list of technical topics that interest me and that you’re likely to find on this site:
- Ruby (and Rails)
- Rust / Go / Zig
- JavaScript - so much JavaScript
- Cloud Computing (AWS)
- On-Prem Computing (Linux, Homelabs)
- Linux (btw I use arch)
