I'm a Software Engineer who enjoys working on systems where every millisecond counts. I spend my days at MoveInSync building routing and optimization services. There's something satisfying about commute problems -- figuring out how to club employees together, optimize routes, and put fewer vehicles on the road so we cut down carbon emissions a little. I've spent a good amount of time working with genetic algorithms to tackle vehicle scheduling and route optimization, and I find these kinds of decision-making challenges genuinely fun to think about.

In Fall 2025, I found myself drawn to open source and started contributing to projects I use and admire. So far, I've been lucky to get contributions into Spring Security, Spring Boot, and Spring Cloud Gateway -- fixing a thread-safety bug, adding SSL truststore visibility, and adding a StripContextPath filter to fix context-path handling in WebMVC filters. It's been a great way to learn from some really talented people.

I also built Locksmith, a small Redis-based distributed locking starter for Spring Boot, which somehow made it to Maven Central. More recently, I made jskim -- a token-saving Java file reader for Claude Code that uses tree-sitter to summarize Java files compactly, cutting 70-80% of input tokens. It started from a simple itch: reading large Spring Boot codebases with an LLM was burning through context way too fast. It's on PyPI now and works as a Claude Code skill.

I'm always trying to pick up something new -- whether that's a technology, a concept, or just a different way of thinking. Right now, I'm reading Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari, which has been giving me a lot to think about beyond code.

If you really want to know who I am, git log tells a better story than any bio.
