27 years ago it was Microsoft Frontpage, Quake 2, and 🚧 Geocities that hooked me. Search engines were still in their infancy, and I wanted a common place to share skins and maps with my buddies. Anyway, I had so much fun doing it that it remained a slow yet persistent hobby from then on.

Almost 3 decades later, I've worked on everything from PHP monoliths to fully distributed Rust and Go systems used by millions. In the healthcare and IT industries, I've taken projects from crude napkin sketches to running in production at scale.

In my off-hours, I still enjoy solving problems! 😆 Sometimes the solution is with software, other times with a table saw or a welding machine. I just enjoy the struggle and beauty of beating my head against the wall until the breakthrough occurs. So satisfying!

And I enjoy writing about such shenanigans over at eloquentarchitecture.com.
