ABOUTME.md
Hi! I’m a software engineer focused on performance, site-reliability, and team effectiveness. Before becoming a software engineer, I taught middle school English for two years in rural Yunnan with Teach for China. Class sizes of 55-60 made me passionate about the potential and importance of ed-tech—it’s why I learned to program in the first place.
In my personal life, I enjoy writing, D&D, fantasy novels, 3d-printing coasters, and bad wordplay. I live in New Mexico with my wife and two wonderful children.

- Mistwatch: a high fantasy novel set on a gigantic tree above a corrupted world.
- mongo-hyperloglog: a MongoDB-backed implementation of the HyperLogLog algorithm for NodeJS. It is inferior in every way to Redis’s implementation.
- node-fn-query: allows using NodeJS syntax on the command line with JSON documents. Meant to complement
jqbecause I can never rememberjq’s syntax. - allelify: easily run commands in parallel while storing logs in
/tmp.
