at work
I'm tech lead on the Patient Journey App at Interactive Studios, an app that guides patients through their treatment. My work runs the whole stack: application architecture, code review, CI/CD, and keeping our Kubernetes clusters happy. I've been writing code since I was 14, and part of Interactive Studios since 2012.
technologies
Laravel on the backend, React and TypeScript on the frontend, React Native + Expo on mobile, and Kubernetes underneath it all. Lately I've been writing Rust, mostly for fun and sometimes for speed. Open source is a principle I believe in, and contributing to it just feels good. I do what I can, and want to do more of it. See projects for the results.
homelab
The most over-engineered corner of the house: a dedicated Proxmox box that runs Home Assistant, an Unraid server hosting Immich, Paperless-ngx, Syncthing, and more containers than strictly necessary (kept safe by Unraid's parity drives, not RAID), and a UniFi network tying it all together.
The 3D printers count as lab equipment too: a Bambu Lab P1S and a heavily modded Ender 3 running Klipper and Mainsail. Tinkering with it all is the point.
outside of work
When I'm not at a keyboard, I'm with my partner, our two kids, and the dog. The rest of my time goes to drumming, collecting vinyl, 3D printing, gaming, and evenings with friends.
The drumming happens on an acoustic kit when the house allows it and an e-kit when it doesn't, to a soundtrack of Drum 'n Bass, deadmau5, rock, metal, metalcore, and much more.
Big sci-fi and fantasy fan: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series.
Also: astronomy and physics. I will happily lose an evening to a video about black holes.
