I spend most of my time turning caffeine into code. Sometimes it works on the first try, but when it doesn't, I just call it "research".

I like to think of myself as an amateur bug fixer (and admittedly, a professional bug creator). I don't really break things; I just have a knack for discovering undocumented behavior.

Mostly, I build projects to solve real-world problems, though sometimes I just end up creating new problems to solve later. I'm always exploring new patterns and tools, and frequently learning things I probably should have learned years ago.

while(alive){
    think();
    overthink();
    code();
    wonderWhyItDoesntWork();
    debug();
    learn();
}

That’s all the validation I need."
