I like solving problems by writing code, in particular when it means saving someone's time or generally helping them. I enjoy seeing elegant solutions to problems, thinking about the architecture of a project such as designing an API, and ways to write code that adapts seamlessly when things change. I love learning about the world and have started writing about my learnings on my blog infodistillery.com.
