Hi, I'm a backend-leaning software engineer. I've worked for Rescale, Squid Cloud, and currently Open Syllabus
Professionally, I specialize in deployments, DevOps, cloud, automation, DevEx, and linux. I like python, javascript, and shell scripting. I've been using Arch Linux (btw) for about 10 years now and the colemak keyboard layout.
On my own time, I make games and web-based utilities. You can find a gallery of my personal projects below. Everything below is created and maintained by yours truly. Each entry inculdes a link to both the deployed app and the source code (MIT licensed, usually).

This closed a 6 figure deal with a large aerospae company.
