About
Hi, I'm Mike.¶
A software developer working at Buf, making Protocol Buffers work for everyone.
You can find me on Twitter and GitHub.
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 currently maintain:
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. Mostly 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.
Digital years¶
- Eventually, I will find time to update my website. 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 (new domain), 2015,
2016.
- 2017 (yet another new .io domain), and time?! Nope. Early days but work in
progress. 2018 was a blur.
- 2019, back to original domain. 2020. 😷
- 2021,
work in progress. Protocol Buffers for the rest of us.
- 2022, GopherCon, APIs, and more
Protocol Buffers.
