I've been a software engineer for 15 years. I've primarily been part of small teams that built a data warehouse ETL utility that processed billions of customer records nightly for a dozen Fortune 500 companies; a distributed document store with terabytes of historical data, an ISO consistency requirement, and a strict availability guarantee; and a service-oriented platform managing internal business data worth millions of dollars in revenue. I also have experience leading, mentoring, and training developers.

I'm interested in service-oriented architectures, programming languages, and distributed systems, but I'm willing to branch out into new domains. I recently reached a 365-day consecutive streak of commits to GitHub (still going at 443 consecutive commits). I wrote about my experience: http://polybits.net/2014/08/16/365-days-of-github/.

My GitHub projects include 100+ solutions to Project Euler (in 13 languages and 790+ implementations), a RESTful content-addressable storage server, a proxy for local and remote filesystems, a LINQ-inspired shell, a simple performance monitor, a beanstalkd library, two libraries in Erlang and Go for writing an AI bot for Vindinium, and numerous contributions to Rust.
