About
Two record labels, one kid (six), too much pizza (never enough pizza), and a standing argument with myself about running more. Software engineer, mostly frontend, now at Compa, based in Aotearoa New Zealand by way of Taos and San Francisco. I take on some freelance alongside it. I like building things I can see and interact with. I like working with designers. I've been doing this for a while and I'm still not bored by it.
