I fell in love with math and science at a young age and got my start programming on a TI-82 calculator. Since then, I've worked at some of the smallest companies and the largest companies in the world. I've built peer to peer filesystems, contributed to golang & Chrome, and learned about building big systems for lots of customers. Go, and the Go community have been a huge part of my journey over the last 13 years or so. I enjoy sharing my mistakes with others so they don't have to learn the hard way.
