About

Adam and Kristina in Miami in November 2022

Hey there, I’m Adam. I live in Boston with my wife, Kristina, and our two three cats: Bailey, Luna, and Oliver. I enjoy coding, investing, and retro gaming.

I’ve been working in tech for over 10 years. I started as a Recruiter (really) and taught myself web development, ultimately landing my first job writing Node.js (Koa) and Angular.js at a small FinTech company.

I spent the next few years doing heavy frontend work with React at The Boston Globe. During this time, I also became curious about the cloud and distributed systems. I eventually moved on to a role at Shopify, where I worked on warehouse automation software. This was when Copilot and ChatGPT sparked my interest in AI.

I’m now on an open-ended sabbatical. My current interests are systems programming and quantitative finance. Occasionally, I’ll blog about something I learned.

If you’d like to connect, you can find me on Bluesky, GitHub, and LinkedIn.
