About

I'm a detail-oriented and curious person who loves understanding how systems (whether they be social, software, or natural) are structured and function. I like breaking down and solving problems, and enjoy the work of making logical connections between concepts that goes into that. I'm currently interested in open source software, the intersection of technology and positive social impact, and understanding how communities form around technology. I work on the GitHub Actions team. Some of my current areas of technical interest and/or experience include Golang, Kubernetes, Rust, virtualization, and systems programming.
