Senior Backend
Developer

I build backend software and bring experience in technical leadership, databases, and cloud infrastructure. At EXADS, I currently work with PHP, Couchbase, Memcache, MariaDB, and ClickHouse.

Outside work, I develop gitm to simplify working across Git repositories and collaborate on Corvo, a clipboard history app for macOS.
