Software Development Engineer

I build distributed systems at AWS CloudFormation and ship side projects that scratch a real itch. Seattle, WA.
About
Who I am and what I build.
I'm a software development engineer on AWS CloudFormation in Seattle. I work on the systems that provision and deploy infrastructure across large numbers of accounts, which means a lot of deployment orchestration, on-call rotations, and the unglamorous scaling work that keeps thousands of accounts deploying reliably.
In my free time I play a lot of sports, mostly basketball, soccer, tennis, and golf. I also build personal projects that cut friction out of my own life, including the ones here, like a Mac dictation tool, a match-day organizer for my soccer team, and Grind, an app I built to study for interviews.
