I absolutely love full-stack development in an agile environment where I can write simple yet elegant code that scales to thousands of machines. Given enough red bull and a compiler, anything is possible! Most recently, I joined the open-source community to work on Hadoop and Apache Ambari in Java, after having spent 4 years in the .NET world writing C#. My work also allows me to develop features, algorithms, and productivity tools to automate and optimize workflows. I also enjoy finding interesting trends and using math to solve interesting problems.
