Programmer
I’m a self-taught developer who started with functional programming early on and never looked the other way. Over the past seven years, I’ve been building production systems in Scala across multiple startup settings. I created “Decrel,” a library that reifies domain relationships, and I am currently working on building a system with the goal of having my colleagues consistently clock out at 6 pm.
