About Me

I’m a security & infrastructure engineer. I mostly work on very large Internet systems, usually dealing with things like Go, Terraform, and AWS. In my spare time I enjoy baking, woodworking, sailing, circus aerials, rock climbing, bicycling, and video games. I live with my wife in San Francisco, where we raise our darling cat Chell.
