About

I'm a Staff Engineer building infrastructure and AI-powered tools at Outside Inc. Most of my days involve Python, Django, and finding creative new ways self DDOS.

I studied Psychology at Colorado College, which turns out to be surprisingly useful when debugging race conditions at 2am.

I like building things that make other engineers' lives easier. Tools like req-update-check and internal automation systems.
