I've always been a huge computer nerd, but somehow it took me until I was forced to work from home during COVID to try learning how to program. As it turns out, something that I tried on a whim turned out to be my true passion and I have been consistently excited about software engineering on and off the clock. My first personal project was spoticli, a CLI that filled a tooling gap that I had at the time. As a music fanatic, I was constantly creating playlists of new music for both my own enjoyment and to share with my friends. I had a defined workflow where I would create a monthly catch-all playlist and a few vibe-oriented playlists, and often I wanted to add tracks to multiple playlists at once. This ended up evolving into many other features that I brainstormed, and I had a lot of fun creating it.

I quite enjoy programming in Python due to the syntax and low barrier to entry, though I often find myself longing for a strong type system. This is why I ended up learning Go, and I really enjoy using it. So far, I have used it at work to re-write a CLI using Go's amazing concurrency implementations and personally to help contribute to sesh, a workflow management tool for terminal multiplexers. I would definitely be interested in using it professionally moving forward. For similar reasons, it is also why I have been using TypeScript more in the past year or so. If you have any open roles, preferably in a smaller, tight-knit team, please feel free to get in touch with me!
