-----I'm a software engineer (backend/data/infra) with a background in college-level mathematics and CS education. Long-time Linux user, Emacs enthusiast, and adept juggler (I occasionally perform for charity and holiday events). I'm fond of expedition and sharp-set for new challenges, with wide exposure to a variety of technologies, problem spaces, and programming paradigms.
My recent work includes backend logic, backend API design + integrations, database schema design, AI vector search, media processing pipelines, and database + server administration for a startup's cross-platform mobile application.
