I’m a data and software engineer based in Nashville, Tennessee, with a particular interest in building modern data platforms.
My work is usually centered around data engineering, analytics, and software development. I’m especially interested in modern, open-source tooling and the architectural decisions that turn a collection of tools into a platform that people can actually build on.
This site is where I document some of that work. Mostly to reinforce my own knowledge and memory of these things, but also to share what I think might be useful or interesting to others in this space.
Why this site exists#
I learn best by building, experimenting, and explaining things to other people.
Some posts will be deep dives into an open-source contribution. Others might be a project walkthrough, a design decision, a teaching experiment, or something I spent far too much time figuring out.
Outside of the keyboard#
I try to make time for at least one snowboarding trip every year, I’ve always been a gamer, and I enjoy reading (especially Science Fiction).
All of these things are made better when done with my wife and kids.
