All-around-the-block software person with a passion for learning, teaching, doing, and solving problems; an acolyte of open-source software; and an author of open-source as well as proprietary packages/modules/extensions for web services, systems managers, automation frameworks, ETL programs, and others. Serial automator; if it’s not automated, it’s broken. Doing a lot of infrastructure work in AWS these days. Recovering “data scientist”. I love video games, travel, food, and foreign language, whether of the software or human variety.
