👋 Hi there, thanks for stopping by
I'm here a lot, building data-intensive products from the ground up. I'm bullish on, and a big booster of:
🌿 💚 @bazelbuild and generally using functional principles to keep things sane. (I've open-sourced a few tools for the Bazel ecosystem, see below)- Good old-fashioned books

Active Projects
- Writing about software. I semi-regularly publish a post at thundergolfer.com/blog. A few are...

Computing is pop culture. [...] Pop culture holds a disdain for history. Pop culture is all about identity and feeling like you're participating, It has nothing to do with cooperation, the past or the future—it's living in the present.
