About the Author

I am a software engineer living in Boulder Colorado, where I am currently employed at Yes Energy working as a Java, Rust, SQL, and Javascript Engineer. I also have experience using Go, Python, React, Kubernetes, Docker, MongoDB, and other technologies building data intensive applications for a wide range of industries including medical and cloud application data management.

I have a passion for well tested and clearly structured code with experience in Jest, React Testing Library, Enzyme, Pytest, Postman, Golang testing, and Cypress/Selenium. I've also developed a passion for teaching other engineers and building them custom tools to enhance their workflows.

My distractions from work include mountain biking, skiing, and photography. I shamelessly use this blog to show off my amateur photography skills. I'm also actively trying to be a less terrible cook.

Some notes on this blog and its contents: I hate most blog websites. I won't name names but advertisements, popups, cookies, forced account logins, user telemetry, etc are in my opinion a cancer on knowledge. As such you will find none of that here. The source code of this blog is on my GitHub and I've kept it as minimal as my obsessions over aesthetics will allow. It is currently built with Vercel's NextJS system along with some customizations of my own. Enjoy the knowledge and experiences here, borrow and steal them all you want. I hope you and your AI scraper find them useful.
