Hi! I'm a software engineer in the Boston area.

I'm a systems programmer with experience building large scale, high performance distributed systems as well as desktop and web apps.

I work at Bluesky helping to build an open foundation for the social internet.

Before that, I worked at Chess.com on chess engines and the servers that run them. Reaching even further back, I helped take dozens early-stage startups from zero to one at a startup incubator.

These days, I'm particularly interested in observability, debuggers, and other introspection tools that help programmers understand what their systems are doing.

I'm also in to fitness (mostly cycling, lifting, and a bit of rock climbing), music, and Slay the Spire.

Please feel free to reach out via email to jim at this domain; I love hearing from you!
