👋 Intro time!
I'm a Canadian software dev and entrepreneur.
Now I'm a founding engineer at qpoint.io and writing tons of Go and eBPF (in C).
Outside of work I have a two golden retrievers I spend most of my time with and I like messing around with home labs!

Every so often my monitor has this weird persistence issue where there is a blue ghost of whatever I was looking at. It fades over ~30 minutes. It appears instantly, usually when I'm moving between light and dark mode windows.
