:slug: about

Hey there! 

**Finding simple solutions to difficult problems, gives me a rush.**

I feel at my best when I turn ideas into products or services. I often prototype using Python and admire readable, testable code. For me, the process of refactoring brings me joy. As a strong advocate of opensource, I donate code and time when I can.

I currently work as a Software Engineer, writing software to manage infrastructure running in "the cloud", but I also have a basement full of real computers and servers.

I value Truth, Freedom, Harmony, & Love. I want to find financial independence to retire myself from unvoluntary work. Once accomplished, I want to help others reach freedom from unvoluntary work. As a result, right now I'm actively bootstrapping `Make Post Sell, a platform to sell digital & physical products <https://www.makepostsell.com>`_ for as cheap as possible by using capacity engineering to optimize key operating expenses. 

You should `contact me </contact>`_, I love conversation and often respond in a timely manner!
