Hello HN,

I’m a problem-solver by nature and do my best work in collaboration with others. I love exploring new technologies but feel most at home in the JavaScript ecosystem.

Recently I wrapped up an open source project called Seymour. It involved building a globally distributed active monitoring solution for API endpoints. As a co-creator and Software Engineer working on this project, I took a lead role in designing Seymour’s event-driven messaging infrastructure that ultimately resulted in a resilient and efficient means of triggering HTTP requests from any one of 22 locations around the world. My team and I gave a presentation on the final product which you can view on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzey_PglYoQ), if you’re interested.

I'm looking for full-stack opportunities that lean a bit towards the back-end. Thanks for the look!
