Hi!
I'm a software engineer, PhD computer scientist, homelabber, zerg player, content creator, biker, guitar player, husband, and a dad.
I specialize in compilers & programming languages, with work experience in distributed orchestration at scale.
I received my doctorate at IU Bloomington, in computer science, specializing in compilers & programming languages, minoring in logic. My research focuses on optimizing run-time performance of production‑grade full‑scale self‑hosting languages on tracing JIT compiler back-ends (dissertation).

How do you say your name?
I'm a US national, and this is by far the most common question I get around here. I'm not a native English speaker, but my wife is, so I know how tricky it can be to pronounce. No worries tough, feel free to say it however's easiest for you. Thanks for asking!
And thanks for checking out my homepage!
