"Simplicity is already a hard problem to solve."
"Don’t build the product; build the factory that builds the products."
"If you want to change something, you must prove its value."
"Ownership of your project or task doesn’t end when you hand something off. You must personally own it from inception to delivery."

• On the job, I’m most proud of my so-called “legacy” C++ project. We’d lost most of our C++ devs, and what remained was an ancient, intimidating codebase that everyone was afraid to touch. Worse yet, it sat at the very core of all our facility appointment scheduling infrastructure – every request passed through a tightly-coupled service written in 1999.

- I’m not one to rest on laurels, so I’m always looking for new ways to expand my domain of knowledge and skills. Like any good developer, I built a homelab that’s outgrown itself (and now resides in a hand-built fully enclosed cabinet with acoustic foam and custom wood trim, and prototyping a new mounting solution to better position a bevy of 1L PCs). So many experiments, so many containers. My wife … out of concern … kindly asked me stop building a supercomputer (MPI over kubernetes). However, I’ve been working at scaling up what began as a humble messaging system, “Foxtrot.” My aims are now less than humble; to be the world’s fastest communications platform. Written in rust, my actor-based microservice architecture has been doubling performance every generation. Will it one day rival Discord/Slack/Teams? Who knows, but it’s the most fun I’ve had dabbling around chasing performance and possibilities.
