I'm really excited about programming languages, distributed systems, the history of innovation and scientific inquiry, mnemonics and physiology.

I do most of my programming and prototyping in Julia, Javascript, Nim, and bash, right now.

If you'd like to know more about me, go to my website: http://impeter.org where you can see a list of some of the things I've made, an up-to-date resume, and get in contact with me using the potato in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

## Work Experience
### Senior Software Engineer @ Oracle Beast
Jan 2022 – Present
Developed fault tolerant price prediction software for the Flare network.
Wrote and interacted with EVM contracts to provide in-network prices with very high uptime.
Lead one other developer, educated them on best practices, and set up a wide variety of infrastructure running Flare Network validators, observers, and oracles.

### Software Engineer @ Superoxide
Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | California, United States
Superoxide was an experiment in visually minimal, ungamified brain training for serious adults.
Additionally, it was a foray into incredibly secure programming; the only external code it uses is Julia and GNUTLS.
Since I developed the whole stack, from server to database, to UI framework, it was an amazing way to learn system design, and understand the web from the very bottom up.

### Software Engineer @ Parabola
Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | San Francisco Bay Area
I did a lot of backend work here, in Python, created their recommendation engine with Torch, and later scikit due to resource constraints. I wrote a lot of React frontend code, in Typescript with Redux.
I started a paper reading club in the engineering department, and we got through a lot of good papers.

### Associate Software Engineer @ Massdrop
Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco Bay Area
Full stack web developer, I wrote a decent amount of SQL, more Javascript, in the form of Node.js and React frontend. A significant amount more user-facing features than as an intern.

### Summer Intern @ Massdrop
Jan 2017 – Jan 2017
My role as an intern was largely working as a full stack JavaScript developer for internally used tools at Massdrop.


## Education
### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science
University of California, Santa Cruz
Jan 2014 – Jan 2018
