“We control our reasoned choice and all acts that depend on that moral will. What’s not under our control are the body and any of its parts, our possessions, parents, siblings, children, or country—anything with which we might associate.”

senior software engineer, currently working at GE Vernova. I have skills and most experience working on high-performance,distributed microservices running in kubernetes clusters and docker containers. C++ and Java are my primary languages. I am also desperately addicted to coffee (professionally, of course), with the Chemex being my preferred brewing method.

outside of the professional space: a digital and privacy rights, OSS advocate, transhumanist, and an avid enjoyer of video games. I can also be found playing dnd, world of warcraft, cult of the lamb and warhammer (usually 40k tabletop). additionally, I tend to alsoread a number of books, mostly on philosophies and scifi (my favorite being Dune). I actively encorporate stoicism and practice zen meditations. some of my side projects can be found here on github, where I tinker with various side quests.

Linux is my first love (Ubuntu, my most favorite distro in particular), but macOS is currently my daily driver on my personal machines. I hate Windows with all the cells of my being (but I have to use it for work vomit emoji); Windows 8.1 is the last good version of Windows.

Anyway, heres a link I guess to my website: stoicswe.com, if you so desire to parse it over.
