Tools/services I use
Contact
Given my demanding roles as a software engineer, I try as much as possible to devote the time left over for my deep work on side projects and my family and friends. Evidently, I’m harder to reach than most software engineers: I don’t have a general purpose email address and I don’t use social media frequently.
For the above reason, if you have an offer, opportunity, or introduction that might make my life more interesting, please contact me via LinkedIn. Consequently, I’ll only respond to those proposals that are a good match for my schedule and interests.
