I'm a software engineer with 10+ years experience. My most recent role was a staff-level position at Cockroach Labs in their engineering productivity group. While I have had a focus in developer tooling/infrastructure especially in the latter part of my career, I consider myself to have a general skill-set and am interested in branching out into new domains. In my next role I look forward to solving tough problems and doing some technical leadership in an exciting space.
I will be more responsive to messages that a) are human-authored and b) are not secretive about the role.
