## About & Background
- I build things, break things, and occasionally fix things that weren't broken in the first place. Somewhere between bad ideas and too much curiosity, good software tends to happen.
- I have a dangerous amount of confidence for someone whose first solution is usually 'fuck it, let's see what happens.' Surprisingly, this has worked more often than it should.
- I don't have everything figured out, and that's kind of the point. I chase whatever looks interesting, disappear down unnecessary rabbit holes, and somehow come back with either something cool or a very specific lesson on what never to do again.
- Still learning. Still shipping. Still pretending console.log was part of the debugging strategy all along.
