I'm a software engineer with over 9 years of professional experience. I've been a technical leader across a wide set of domains, including highly distributed backend systems, open source Go client libraries, developer experience, and CLI tools. I have a love and a passion for the Go programming language, and previously worked on the Go team at Google for 3.5 years.
