Hey! 👋 Thanks for stopping by. Here's a little bit about me:
- 🎼 I created Alda (2012 - present), a music programming language
- 🧠 I'm a polyglot engineer with a focus on distributed systems, workflow orchestration, and creative problem-solving. My recent toolkit includes TypeScript, Node.js, and Temporal.
- 🤖 I'm passionate about applied AI and tackling large-scale data challenges.
- 🌱 I'm driven to improve engineering culture and processes. I have experience establishing formal RFC and deployment standards and a passion for mentoring other engineers.
- 🎸 I play guitar, drums, theremin, bassoon, and more. My musical world spans classical, punk, power pop, and anything with synthesizers, plus experiments in algorithmic composition and sound collage.
- ♫ I've played in lots of bands over the years; you can find recordings and videos on my website.
- 🥋 I'm a Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor and blue belt
