I'm a generalist who has been successful across numerous domains (retail, consumer, education, semiconductor). I focus on building low-maintenance and dependable solutions. Even though I enjoy exploring the technological bleeding-edge (I aggressively enhance my toolbox with new languages, technologies, and libraries whenever possible), I often choose more well-tested and mature solutions especially under time and resource constraints.
My interests include service-oriented architectures, programming languages, and distributed systems. Last year, I reached a 365-day consecutive streak of commits to GitHub (still going at 624 consecutive commits). I wrote about my experience: http://polybits.net/2014/08/16/365-days-of-github/.
My open-source work includes a RESTful content-addressable storage server, a proxy for local and remote filesystems, a LINQ-inspired shell, an event-driven performance monitor, a Rust client for beanstalkd, two libraries in Erlang and Go for writing an AI bot for Vindinium, and numerous contributions to Rust and its auxiliary libraries.
I've been a software engineer for 16 years across numerous domains (retail, consumer, education, semiconductor). My noteworthy commercial projects are a data warehouse ETL application that processed billions of customer records nightly for a dozen Fortune 500 companies; a distributed document store with terabytes of historical data, an ISO consistency requirement, and a strict availability guarantee; and a service-oriented platform managing manufacturing and product data worth millions of dollars in revenue. Aside from development, I have also led a small team, mentored junior developers, and trained both end users and developers.

My personal interests include service-oriented architectures, programming languages, and distributed systems. Last year, I reached a 365-day consecutive streak of commits to GitHub (still going at 535 consecutive commits). I wrote about my experience: http://polybits.net/2014/08/16/365-days-of-github/.
My open-source work is comprised of 110 solutions to Project Euler (in 13 languages and 865+ implementations), a RESTful content-addressable storage server, a proxy for local and remote filesystems, a LINQ-inspired shell, an event-driven performance monitor, an embeddable Riemann client for legacy systems, a Rust client for beanstalkd, two libraries in Erlang and Go for writing an AI bot for Vindinium, and numerous contributions to Rust and its auxiliary libraries.
I've been a software engineer for 15 years. I've primarily been part of small teams that built a data warehouse ETL utility that processed billions of customer records nightly for a dozen Fortune 500 companies; a distributed document store with terabytes of historical data, an ISO consistency requirement, and a strict availability guarantee; and a service-oriented platform managing internal business data worth millions of dollars in revenue. I also have experience leading, mentoring, and training developers.
I'm interested in service-oriented architectures, programming languages, and distributed systems, but I'm willing to branch out into new domains. I recently reached a 365-day consecutive streak of commits to GitHub (still going at 443 consecutive commits). I wrote about my experience: http://polybits.net/2014/08/16/365-days-of-github/.
My GitHub projects include 100+ solutions to Project Euler (in 13 languages and 790+ implementations), a RESTful content-addressable storage server, a proxy for local and remote filesystems, a LINQ-inspired shell, a simple performance monitor, a beanstalkd library, two libraries in Erlang and Go for writing an AI bot for Vindinium, and numerous contributions to Rust.
I've been a pragmatic software engineer for 15 years, and have developed robust solutions for both the frontend and backend. I've largely been part of small teams that built a data warehouse ETL utility which processed billions of customer records nightly for a dozen Fortune 500 companies; a distributed document store with terabytes of historical data, an ISO consistency requirement, and a strict availability guarantee; and a service-oriented platform managing internal business data worth millions of dollars in revenue. I also have experience leading, mentoring, and training developers.
I'm interested in large data sets, web services, and distributed systems, but I'm willing to branch out into new domains. I recently reached a 365-day consecutive streak of commits to GitHub. I wrote about my experience: http://polybits.net/2014/08/16/365-days-of-github/.
My GitHub projects include 700+ solutions to Project Euler (in 12 languages!), a RESTful content-addressable storage server, a proxy for local and remote filesystems, a LINQ-inspired shell, a simple performance monitor, a beanstalkd library, two libraries in Erlang and Go for writing an AI bot for Vindinium, and documentation for Rust.
