A full-stack developer that has been dodging javascript. I've been up and down the stack with a screwdriver in my back pocket. From swapping CPUs in rack servers, upgrading network card firmware, boot-strapping air-gapped clusters to writing and debugging distributed services, parsing protocols, large NoSQL schema migrations, language design for an in house query language, and designing data processing pipelines. I've even done some front-end work with a small back-end UI in Elm.
