<p>By day I am a <strong>software developer</strong>, working on the tooling that powers children's TV productions at <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.industrialbrothers.com/">Industrial Brothers</a>.
Perviously worked with <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.raiderrobotics.org/">Raider Robotics</a>, building high-performance robotic control system software.</p>
<p>By night I am <em>"indecisive about my hobbies"</em>. I bounce around between a large collection of interests, with the common focus of wanting to learn how things <em>really work</em>.
