About Me

Hello, I'm Rob. I'm a senior software engineer currently working on a Svelte video player built with Shaka Player. I also help with Java APIs, a dashboard built in React, and Cloudflare Workers.

In my free time, I love tinkering with programming languages. My favorites are Rust, Moonbit, ReScript, and Kotlin -- depending on what I'm building.

While my professional life takes center stage on this site, I intend to make space for my personal thoughts and reflections on family, faith, and life.
