About

I started out writing PHP for a small print shop and never really stopped caring about whether the thing under me is understandable. These days I work mostly on data infrastructure and the interfaces that let other people build on top of it.

Outside of work I maintain a small open-source rate limiter, bake sourdough with questionable consistency, and run slowly but consistently.
