Senior Software Engineer and Architect at Lake Homes Realty

I work on the back end of a group of real estate websites: the pipeline that brings in listing data, the code that serves it, and the cloud infrastructure underneath. Right now I'm co-leading the redesign of that pipeline and helping the other developers on the back end.

I enjoy learning and investigating bugs. Linux has been the main OS on every machine I've owned since 2004, and these days that's Gentoo. Windows gets a VM with its own passed-through GPU, for games.
