I'm closing in on two years as a full-stack (emphasis backend) web developer/junior devops type, and I'm looking to mix it up a little bit: something in the direction of systems programming, tool development/more serious DevOps, or programmatic data crunching would be very exciting. That said, I'm open to all sorts of experiences, and look forward to hearing from you -- especially if you can land me overseas.

Some of my recent personal projects include:

  * a special-purpose sshd for serving git traffic using go and the crypto/ssh package (no crypto code from my hands, honest)

  * failure mode, a tool for burn-testing web apps against external conditions (latency, packet loss, etc. -- similar to the Simian Army at NetFlix)

  * year seven as one of the lead developers of Spring: 1944, an open source RTS game.

  * documentation for Perl 6
I can get into detail about $work projects if we end up chatting. Thanks!
