What I’m doing now

(This is a now page, and if you have your own site you should make one!)

I’m in Columbus, Ohio, USA since March of 2019.

I spend my time on these things:

• Working for Upstart. We’re hiring, and are Digital First (AKA remote friendly). I work on our engineering platform, leading various CI, CD, developer productivity and reliability initiatives.

• Building my fitness levels by Rucking and lifting at Starting Strength Columbus.

• Walking my dogs.

• Exploring Columbus.
