About Me

November 2025 - Present

I'll be working on fonts. I'm a fonts guy now.

June 2016 - October 2025

I've worked on gigangic data within Google on the Seach Analytics team. It was fun times as I evolved from a junior engineer to an effective senior tech lead. In my role I:

• Stared at flamegraphs and dashboards to optimize and find headroom.
• Re-architected dataflows for efficiency and simplicity.
• Maintained great docs to facilitate onboarding and design discussions.
• Lead teams to deliver over-complicated software.
• Try to understand the real problems we are trying to solve.

I'm a small time maintainer of a few Rust crates. They could use more care, but they work well enough.

• Livi - A library for running LV2 audio plugins.
• rust-jack - Rust bindings for the JACK audio API. Basically the go-to real-time audio/midi IO library.
• wmidi - MIDI encoding and decoding library for Rust.

I am working on Sizzle, a Scheme interpreter written in Zig. It is currently usable and well on its way to R7RS small compliance. At some point, I'll probably tear it down and recreate it with a cranelift backend for better performance.
