Commentari

Commentari comes from the Latin deponent verb commentārī: to think carefully, to meditate, to sketch in words.

My technical life is in Rust and Go, increasingly working at the seams where languages, FFIs, and libraries like Arrow meet. I had the privilege to build dbt Core for 3 years and now work full-time on the dbt Fusion engine.

I often delve into mathematical logic, natural languages modern and ancient, and the ethics of Socratic and Hellenistic thinkers — threads from my college years that continue to weave through my life.
