about
I'm a student developer who learns best by building. Most of my projects start with a question — how does a web server keep track of a session? how does Terraform know what to create? — and end with something I can run, break, and explain.
I started with Python and small games, moved into C and algorithms, then into Go web applications and cloud infrastructure. Lately I've been spending most of my time on backend fundamentals and the infrastructure side of shipping software.
I'm looking for an internship where I can work on real systems with people who care about how they're built. Until then, I'll keep shipping small things and writing down what I learn.
Run stack for the tools, or projects for the work.
