I'm a back-end specialist developer with over 10 years of professional experience spanning backend web services, front-end, and Windows client development. I've developed production software in Go, TypeScript React, Java, Ruby on Rails, Python, C++ and C#.

I've developed commerce products contributing to billions of dollars paid out to millions of Twitch streamers and I've operated, managed and migrated microservices which serve over fifty thousand requests per second during typical daily load.
