Russell Builds Products

:slug: about
Hey there, welcome to my little slice of the Internet!
*You may view a list of my active projects below the text.*
Finding **simple solutions** to difficult problems, gives me a rush.
I turn ideas into products and often prototype using Python.
I admire readable, testable code, and I enjoy the process of refactoring.
As a strong advocate of opensource, I donate my code and time when I can.
My first successful product launch was `LinkPeek <https://linkpeek.com>`_ which I still operate today. I'm actively bootstrapping `Remarkbox, a hosted comment service <http://www.remarkbox.com>`_.
I currently work for `Remind <https://www.remind.com/>`_ as a software engineer where I write software to manage infrastructure running in AWS.
You should `contact me </contact>`_. I love conversation and always responds in a timely manner!
