Software engineer & systems minimalist.
I write backend systems, manage data pipelines and build internal tooling that makes my colleagues days easier. Right now I'm an engineer at Truedata, within Eyona, building the backend for a software suite that automates the processing of large-scale sales data. Most of the work is ingestion pipelines, database design, and keeping data from many different channels clean, reliable and accurate.
I get a real kick out of finding the simplest solution while keeping it capable, robust, future proof and easy to understand. More often than not, the most straightforward approach gets you the furthest, and I love that.
Off the clock I build and experiment for the fun of it: emulators, simulators, indie games and the custom dev tools that grow around them. When I am not at my computer, you'll usually find me surfing or spending time with my girlfriend.
Projects
Work and life get busy, but when time allows I build things to learn and for fun, taking it slowly to understand how things work at a lower and lower level.
