Blog

I'm currently working at the backend of the frontend @ Microsoft Teams.

I make sure messages make it from the cloud to your phone.

Specifically, we have developed our own sync layer to manage the complex and distributed nature of the backend of Teams, and I help to maintain the sync engine and internal database.

I majored in Computer Science, and minored in Honors Mathematics.

I love Programming languages, especially ones which change the paradigms of concurrency (Clojure, Elixir, Rust).

In my free time, I do Ballroom Dancing. That photo above was taken at the Ohio Star Ball!
