By night, I am SirFixAL0t—a maker, coder, and recovering Engineering Lead with 14+ years of industry experience.

I spent over a decade building scalable teams and processes. Now, I’ve gone back to the beginning to build scalable code and high-performance software/hardware. Why I retired and went back to school
