I've been writing code to solve problems for nearly 20 years, mostly with Python but with a smattering of Scala, Java, TypeScript and other languages as appropriate. I loving seeing the products, features, and fixes I've built go live and meet customer needs. My experience with Spark, Hive, and MapReduce make me at ease in big-data environments, and more recently, I've grown comfortable at full-stack web development.
On a personal level, I enjoy tinkering with technology; digging into open-ended, data-driven questions; collaborating with motivated and intelligent coworkers; rooting for the Clippers, Steelers, and Mountaineers; board games; and traveling. I've also recently gotten into running, with two full marathons & many halves under my belt so far.
