I build the boring parts of commerce so they stay boring. Five years in, I've moved from frontend to mostly backend: Go, TypeScript, Postgres and Redis.

Before that I built signage software running on 400+ screens, a Three.js controller for a cube-shaped LED screen, and a Figma plugin with 30,000+ active users. I'm finishing a CS degree at night and writing about what I learn here.
