About

I'm an experienced startup operator with a history of scaling tech and teams. I'm a self-taught software developer, (and tech lead, and manager) with a much wider-ranging career and education before that. I strive to bring curiosity, encouragement, and first-principles thinking to the work I'm doing.

I'm currently building as a Senior Staff Developer at Shopify.

About This Site

I wrote up the process and theory behind this website, but basically it's an export and reformatting of my highlights and notes of my online (and some offline) reading (script here).

I use it to jostle loose ideas when I'm researching a particular problem in software design or writing topic. I usually either ask it for a random note or search by keyword.

The site theme is forked from Simply Jekyll, with alternative styling taken from Tufte.css. The site fonts are Libertinus.
