"From console logs to concept cars—turning passion into new creations."

I’m a self-taught software engineer with 8+ years of experience who loves blending tech with my personal passions—be it working on cars, learning Japanese, or tinkering with new programming languages. Currently, I’m diving deeper into Golang while dabbling in Elixir, and I’m excited about the fresh perspectives both bring to building efficient, user-centric applications.

By day, I’m an IT Engineering Manager who mentors a small but mighty team, designs IT infrastructure, and codes internal tools. My role gives me a unique blend of technical, operational, and leadership responsibilities—which I enjoy just as much as rolling up my sleeves to build something from scratch.

• Primary Languages:

  • TypeScript for modern web frontends and quick scripts
  • Golang for backend APIs (currently deepening my expertise)
  • PowerShell for system scripting
  • SQL for database design and querying (most experienced in Microsoft SQL Server)

• Secondary Languages:

  • Rust because shouldn't we all rewrite everything in Rust?
  • C# for ease of integration with on-premises Active Directory
  • CFML for a legacy codebase I inherited

• Frameworks, Libraries & Tools:

  • Regularly working with React, GoFiber, and TailwindCSS
  • Formerly used Express.js,Next.js, MUI, Redux, and Prisma but now leaning towards Context-based state management and direct SQL
  • Experimenting with TanStack libraries and expanding my GoFiber skills

• Databases & ETL:

  • Deep experience with Microsoft SQL Server (including SSIS ETL pipelines)
  • Some past experience with MongoDB

• CAN-bus Exploration – Tapping into automotive systems and eventually building a custom infotainment system for my cars
• Printer Management App – A practical solution for a daily workflow challenge
• Dotfiles – Because I’m a big fan of refining workflows and sharing tips for a better dev environment

I’m always open to new ideas—if you’ve got something interesting to collaborate on, let’s chat!

• Editor & Terminal: NeoVim + tmux
• CLI for Git: Because sometimes, simplicity reigns supreme
• Productivity Setup:
  • yabai, skhd for window management
  • Alfred, Focus, kitty, Karabiner Elements to streamline my daily tasks
• Hardware:
  • M1 Max MacBook Pro
  • Zsa Voyager keyboard (Kaihl brown switches)
  • Logitech MX Master 3 mouse

I’m most comfortable in POSIX-compliant environments, but can adapt to just about any setup if needed.

Outside of coding, you’ll likely find me:

• Under the hood of my widebody Genesis Coupe or my 1993 Y32 Nissan Gloria
• Studying Japanese—pursuing a language degree while also working on my Computer Science transfer
• Brainstorming how to merge these interests (coding + cars = custom infotainment system, right?)

“Always learning, always building. Let’s create something awesome together!”
