Software Engineer & Toil Eliminator
Hi, I'm Tim.
I build leverage
for people.
I build tools that help people spend less time wrestling with software and more time making things. I’m especially interested in automation, build systems, and making complicated work easier to do.
Less toil.
More leverage.
Always happy to talkabout build systems.
