Hi there 👋

Long time lover of Physics and mathematics. Childhood programmer. Currently interested in knowledge graphs, distributed systems, cryptography, and deep learning.

I like building products and businesses and gravitate towards tech leadership roles.

Things I appreciate when coding

Ortholinear, split keyboards
Linux & macOS
Emacs with evil-mode
Structural editing
Functional programming (immutability, function composition, referential transparency)
Being explicit and declarative
Documentation and tests (be a considerate coder)

Technologies

Clojure & JVM
Web/APIs (performance, SEO, e-commerce)
Auth{N,Z} having built both OAuth clients and servers
Datomic, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, DynamoDB, Redis
AWS, GCP, Azure, Terraform, K8s

Random things you'll hear me say

Productivity over presence
Optimise for learning
Anything not on the board that needs to be?
Collaborate, deliver, reflect, improve
Catch you in Slack
