I've worked as a software engineer in a lot of contexts -- from shipping product features as an early startup employee to making large infrastructure changes at Twitter. 

I love creating great experiences for developers, and enabling them to move quickly.

I'm currently an engineer at Baseten building software for AI Builders.

I keep a blog at https://squidarth.com
