Hello world!

I'm Rick, nice to meet you! I'm currently learning languages: Rust and German.

I wear many hats, but broadly, I am a senior software engineer with years of site reliability experience.

Interests

My software-related research interests are primarily focused around functional programming and type theory. I'd love to see the general quality of software in our industry increase, and I believe that formal verification through type theory is the leading edge toward that. Feel free to talk to me about these things at any time. :-)

I lead the da.gd project (a URL shortener which also provides some other bits of information), and the custom framework that backs it, along with a small but tight group of friends who help with maintenance and respond to abuse reports.
