An Introduction
I am a currently working as a Software Engineering Manager in the beautiful city of San Francisco. I like to solve problems, especially if it involves programming in Python or Go. Although I consider myself a generalist, my professional experience has predominantly been in building data interchange and integration systems to synchronise large data sets across organizations.
I have been known to write poems and short fiction on ocassion. I also practice Wing Chun Kung Fu and Parkour. I'm a member of the Inspire Sailing Club out of the Berkeley Marina.
A brief summary of my life experiences can be found in my resume.
Articles
I publish a list of my articles online here. These writings vary in nature from the technical to the whimsical.
My most frequently used Jujutsu VCS commands
A bit over three months ago, I switched to using the Jujutsu Version Control
System as my daily-driver frontend to
git. Since then I’ve been able to refine my workflow to the point where I am
much more productive than I was with git. A key component of those
productivity gains was becoming familiar with just a few commands. I’m sharing
these commands with you as a cheat-sheet if you are considering replacing git
with jj.
