Hiya! I’m James.

I’m a programmer, fitness enthusiast and mental health advocate.

I’m in Columbus, OH, which is a pretty cool place to be.

If you want to contact me, send me an email at james@armyofminions.com. My GPG key is available on keybase. If you send me an GPG encrypted email, it might take me a bit to get back to you. But it will happen, I assure you.

Social network thingies are here:

RIGHT NOW: At Upstart.com I am part of the Monolith Runteam, which is tasked with maintaing our large Ruby on Rails Monolith. This means that on any given week, I get to work with anything from Ruby internals to Sidekiq performance optimization to Kubernetes autoscaling, and many, many things inbetween.

If you insist, here is my resume.

For a long time, I was a Community Moderator for Ask Ubuntu, a site focused on Ubuntu on the Stack Exchange network.
