Why's this site exist?
To share some personal musings / experiences on life and hobby projects. I'm a big believer in the most interesting part of stories being the effort.
Relevant timeline of experience these days is...
physics undergrad -> paralegal -> accounting grad school -> gov. consulting -> 2nd finance hire @ mapbox -> platform engineering @ mapbox -> head of finance @ mapbox -> cloud ops engineering @ datadog
Including but not limited to:
- Flag Football - competed nationally in gaybowl since 2011.
- 2015 Gay Bowl 2nd place on the DC Admirals
- 2017 Gay Bowl 3rd place on the DC Admirals
- Coding - it can be work and a hobby
- Board Games - gloomhaven was cool, lots of other games too.
- Fantasy Football Commissioner - 19 years and running...
- Video games - football manager 2020 is killing me.
- Fishing - blocked.
- Puzzles - the 2d ones with all the pieces
Was invited to sit on the containers panel. I got a cool mug and gave opinions on the roadmaps for containers teams. Really cool event.
I gave a talk about the challenges of monitoring microservices within a shared compute cluster. AWS is nice enough to make great videos of all the talks each year - mine's here
Kotaku wrote an article referencing a hacky website I made on google app engine with python and django in 2014. My website is now dead - but it functioned well enough for the writer to calculate the cost of a hobby playing Blizzard's Hearthstone. The experience also made me realize how accessible coding was and kept my coding hobbing growing.
Have questions or suggestions?
Feel free to see if I remember my twitter password.
keep striving!
