I’m a software engineer by trade living right outside Boston, MA. I typically work with small, growing companies typing splitting IC and management responsibilities.
I’ve been paid to write Python, TypeScript, Ruby, and Scala, and have played around with Go, Haskell, and Elixir for fun. I like metaprogramming, pattern matching, and functional concepts. The more I build, the firmer my conviction in strong typing, composition, and well-defined interfaces.
My management philosophy is grounded in continuous improvement & a team-centered style inspired by books like The Goal, The Phoenix Project, and Leaders Eat Last.
I’m a new dad and loving it, and embracing all the change that comes with it. I enjoy reading, mostly non-fiction - business narratives and history. I dabble in chess and crosswords. Occassionally, I run somewhat long distances and try to keep in shape. I’m enthusiastic about personal finance education. My family and I try to be involved in our local community.
I love small businesses, both brick & mortar and software-based. I do a small bit of angel investing for fun, mostly so I can tail fun underdogs and support former coworkers and friends who go to start their own thing.
Please reach out if you’d like to chat about, well, anything.
