👋 Hello and welcome to my personal website 👋
I'm a Staff Software Engineer and have worked at startups for most of my career. I've used Ruby on Rails that entire time and most recently I've been leaning into learning Typescript.
My software engineering experience has primarily been in product facing roles and I've come to love building and shipping high quality experiences to customers. I also enjoy writing technical walk throughs as well as sharing my general thoughts on software engineering.
A quick tip on how AI coding agents excel when all dependencies are cloned locally. We'll examine a practical explanation of implementing a feature in the Ruby on Rails ClickHouse adapter gem.
A language agnostic overview of what a server implementation looks like for Custom Mutators
How to authenticate a User in Controller tests when using RSpec and Rails 8 authentication.
I've spent a bit of time doing some vibe coding and I wanted to share my thoughts about what went well and what didn't go well.
A new feature for GitHub CoPilot, called Instructions, can be used to catch N+1 queries in Ruby on Rails applications. It can even leave comments on Pull Requests when it finds them!
