Hello! I'm Brandon 💻

Welcome / Bienvenue / Willkommen 👋

`$ whoami`

I'm a software architect at Siemens where I work on edge computing technologies. I'm from the eastern coast of Canada 🇨🇦 but I currently live in Germany 🇩🇪

Facts About Me 😎

I'm an absolute Vim nerd. I spend my entire day in about 10 different Vim sessions spread across a bunch of tmux windows.

I mostly write Go these days. I'm forced to write Python sometimes, but I hate it. I have a pretty strong C background. I used to know way more than I like to admit about Java JAXB.
