Hello, again
I codify contracts between systems for a living, in Rust and Python; and once spent a decade chasing where the antimatter went.
Senior software engineer at PactFlow (SmartBear). I help lead the open source Pact Foundation and maintainpact-python; I also wrote tikz-feynman,rust-skiplist, and more.
Previously: data and cloud engineering at KPMG, and doctoral research in theoretical particle physics.
The year in code
4207 commits, 657 PRs, and 208 issues across 34 repositories.
Most of what I make is open. The grid below is the truthful version of a résumé — public, dated, and dense in the parts where I was paying attention.
