Professional Summary

Pragmatic, dedicated, and passionate about software engineering.

During my career I have been developer, researcher, founder, manager, technical leader. I cultivate both breadth of knowledge on a wide variety of topics and programming languages as well as deep technical expertise in some domains.

I am a firm believer in simplicity, refactoring, and writing code in an idiomatic way.
