I'm a senior software engineer with a background in smart metering, where I've spent the last three-plus years working on the kind of software that has to just quietly work: reliable, long-lived, and dealing with real hardware and real constraints.

Outside of that, I build games — usually the hard way. That's meant disassembling a Nokia J2ME cartridge by hand to rebuild it faithfully in a browser, hand-rolling a WebSocket protocol instead of pulling in a library, and writing pathfinding and dialogue-tree engines from scratch. I like understanding systems down to the byte, and I'd rather write the 120 lines myself than add a dependency for them.
