About
A Software Engineer working at Buf, making Protocol Buffers work for everyone.
I help organize GoCon Canada and Go Toronto meetups.
- People and technology
- Computers. Code. Flipping bits. Cleaning cruft
- Keeping an open mind, learning and helping others
In it to improve the internals and understand implementations. Solve business problems, don’t get hung up on algorithms.
Some open-source projects I work on in my spare time:
Long live open source, advent of code 🎄, good sci-fi and the occasional crappy piece of BEEPLE art.
As a hobby, I’d like to get back into electronics; maybe build a DEFCON badge and pick up a 3D printer.
Coffee and tea. Hike, spin, cycle, jog, squash and sometimes lift.
I occasionally capture digital flags 
and attempt to pwn
machines. Here are a few ctf write-ups. Always for fun and
learning.
My age, divided by 2.14, is the number of years I’ve been a dog owner. I ❤ 🐶
No words can describe how much joy these two brought me.
