Work

Senior Software Engineer at Google

I've been a generalist most of my career as a Software Developer. For the past few years I've been focusing more and more on Front-end development but I still love to work on the whole stack.

I'm diving deep into vim, game dev and FE frameworks I haven't had the change to look so much into yet: react, vue, elm. I took 2 years off from development so I have a lot to catching up to do

My kids fill up most of my time :D. When I'm not parenting I'm working on a new book about vim and javascript-mancy.

I keep a somewhat updated list of my projects at barbarianmeetscoding.com/projects
