I'm a generalist who has been successful across numerous domains (retail, consumer, education, semiconductor). I focus on building low-maintenance and dependable solutions. Even though I enjoy exploring the technological bleeding-edge (I aggressively enhance my toolbox with new languages, technologies, and libraries whenever possible), I often choose more well-tested and mature solutions especially under time and resource constraints.

My interests include service-oriented architectures, programming languages, and distributed systems. Last year, I reached a 365-day consecutive streak of commits to GitHub (still going at 624 consecutive commits). I wrote about my experience: http://polybits.net/2014/08/16/365-days-of-github/.

My open-source work includes a RESTful content-addressable storage server, a proxy for local and remote filesystems, a LINQ-inspired shell, an event-driven performance monitor, a Rust client for beanstalkd, two libraries in Erlang and Go for writing an AI bot for Vindinium, and numerous contributions to Rust and its auxiliary libraries.
