I am passionate about software development and technology in general, with a particular interest in improving, streamlining, and automating processes in both real and virtual environments.
Currently, my primary focus is on enhancing the quality of the platform and services at Weedmaps while ensuring that our software engineering teams maintain or increase their productivity and delivery cadence with an experience they enjoy. At home, I enjoy bringing various tools together to make life a bit easier including writing a few things of my own as well as helping maintain and grow various projects. Some are open source while others are still private with hopes to be able to eventually open up.
Software is what I primarily work with. However, I do miss the days of handling every aspect of building and providing services down to mounting motherboards into cases, installing memory, cards, drives, uninterruptible power supplies, etc.
Today, I scratch my hardware tinkering itch with systems on our 42-foot sailboat, Junovia. We depend on a number of systems I've built for our "mostly" off-grid lifestyle including producing electricity, purifying water, communication, navigation, safety, etc. The brains of her systems run on a network of Arduinos, Raspberry PIs, and a Linksys WRT3200 as the network core.
