I am an Orthodox Christian, husband, father, and software developer (in that order).
My wife and I currently have two lovely children, a son born in 2022 and a daughter born in 2025.
I grew up moving around a lot, but I spent a majority of my formative years down in sunny Florida.
I have a BA in Mechanical Engineering from University of Central Florida and a PhD in Material's Science from Georgia Tech.
My PhD was in computational metallurgy which unluckily doesn't offer many well-paying employment opportunities.
Luckily though, my real passion was always actually developing the software, so I happily pivoted to a backend engineer role.
## Quick Facts
My hobbies in the past have included Capoeira, MMA, bouldering, and backpacking.
Lately I just try to find time to stay fit and do some side-project work after the kids are asleep.

It seems like there are a lot of people either leaving or talking about leaving Github, a very prominent one being [Mitchell Hashimoto](https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-leaving-github).
Fragmentation seems inevitable, as people/companies start to distribute among the various options (Codeberg, self-host Forgejo, Gitlab, etc...).
