I'm a Senior Software Engineer who takes fragile, tangled systems and turns them into ones that are simple and built to last, mainly in C# and .NET, with a particular interest in distributed systems and protocol design. Outside of client work, I write and tinker on independent projects like HashBack and SixGate.
