Welcome to my GitHub page!
Also known by my nicknames "lanejoshlane" and "Fast Lane", I'm a Platform Engineering Director with a rich background in tech and leadership. Based in Oakland, CA, I've had an impactful journey through companies like EasyPost, Fastly, Engine Yard. From Maine, I cut my teeth in the Boston technogoly scene at EMC, HubSpot and Brontes3d (now part of 3M). I hold a profound interest in building robust technology solutions and developing agile, effective teams.
🚀 Leadership: Steering platform engineering at a logistics technology startup, focusing on creating scalable and efficient software architectures. 🔧 Technologies I'm Passionate About:
- Rust: Delving deep into its systems programming capabilities, high performance services and stable tools.
- Ruby: Building APIs and software solutions with an elegant language.
- Lua: Exploring its simplicity and effectiveness in embedded systems, largely through neovim.
🌱 I’m currently learning:
- Advanced Rust programming techniques and best practices.
- Lua, focusing on its integration with larger systems for better performance.
- dotfiles: My configuration settings for Arch, CentOS, and Darwin. (Frequent updates, stability may vary)
- cistern: Ruby API client framework. An early attempt to create an RPC-like interface for any API that encourages testability.
- fog-aws: AWS module for the 'fog' Ruby gem. I've largely stepped back from this.
- zendesk2: A Zendesk API V2 client using Cistern.
🌟 neovim: I am a proud sponsor of neovim, supporting the advancement of this vital open source project.
