Hello! I'm Brandon :computer:
Welcome / Bienvenue / Willkommen :wave:
$ whoami
I'm a software architect at Siemens where I work on edge computing technologies.
I'm from the eastern coast of Canada 🇨🇦 but I currently live in Germany :de:
Facts About Me :sunglasses:
I'm an absolute Vim nerd. I spend my entire day in about 10 different Vim
sessions spread across a bunch of tmux windows.
I mostly write Go these days. I'm forced to write Python sometimes, but I hate
it. I have a pretty strong C background. I used to know way more than I like to
admit about Java JAXB.
