I've been writing code and architecting systems for nearly two decades, and I still get excited about solving messy technical problems. I believe the best way to understand technology is to stay hands-on, so you'll find me deep in code as often as I am drawing architecture diagrams or leading large technical teams through complex challenges. I work closely with customers to figure out what they actually need, contribute to open source when I can, and hit up tech conferences to learn from people smarter than me. This blog is where I share what I'm thinking about, what I'm building, and the lessons I pick up along the way
