Hi there 👋

Software Engineer
Thoughtworker

See my stack on stackshare.io

I like problem solving, thinking critically, asking questions, want to be receptive to change, and am obsessed about improvements. Keen on using technology to make a positive impact at scale. Passionate about and reader of DevOps culture, Agile and software testing. Also interested in social-technical aspects of product development and software engineering.

What I do

code, guitar, eat

Stuff I try to engineer by

  1. There are no silver bullets, only trade offs
  2. Integrity is the best policy
  3. Be reason-able
  4. Always get close to original source of ideas, do not cargo cult

Software

  • Make systems easy to reason about
  • In a context, assume as little as possible
    • if not encoded, make them explicit if not make them obvious
  • Clear is better than clever
  • Decouple areas of concerns
  • Code is more read than written

Quotes

You must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool. - Richard Feynman if the energy cost of sin is less than that of virtue then sin is what you will get
