I'm a software engineer with a knack for developing high-performance backend systems with Rust and crafting seamless user experiences with React. My foundation in functional programming, deeply rooted in composability and enhanced reasoning, coupled with low-level systems programming focused on performance and mechanical sympathy, shapes my adaptable approach to software development.

Beyond my programming pursuits, I have a colorful array of hobbies that keep my mind and body engaged. From the harmony of yoga to the adrenaline rush of carving a wave, I'm always seeking new ways to embody Shoshin. Whether it's strategizing in chess, hucking a frisbee, or capturing life's fleeting moments with analog photography, I find embracing novel experiences and eclectic interests makes me a more complete human.

This drive for innovation extends to Bitcoin, a decentralized, immutable form of money without a central issuer, capable of transforming the very foundations of our current social system. In a world where money is superordinate to laws and society's emergent behavior is dictated by an inherently flawed incentive structure built on fiat currencies, Bitcoin offers a fairer, less exploitable alternative. I hope to see a future where true financial freedom and empowerment are accessible to all.
