Hi! I can help you become a better programmer no matter where you are in your programming journey. Whether you are looking to find your first job, learning to code, or are struggling with a particular topic, I can help!

I have worked as a Software Engineer for the last decade and studied Computer Science at UCSB. My professional work has included backend engineering, data engineering, devops, cloud engineering, and various areas of research across theoretical computer science. Check out my writings at https://www.heneli.dev/.

Currently, I'm working as the solo founding engineer at CodeLamp. At my previous job, I occupied both backend and data engineering roles:

Using Python and Spark, I designed algorithms to synthesize media attention metrics from audio content recognition, CV models, ad metadata, and other data sources. Drawing on ideas from static refinement, program visualization, local-first systems, and modern operational techniques, I have continued developing strategies to simplify data programming.

Using Haskell, I developed backend services with a small team to drive evolving data pipelines, manage a 1000+ device fleet, and facilitate various data ingestions through an internal workflow engine. Through judicious application of advanced functional programming techniques, my team was able to greatly scale its impact and evolve a nimble codebase to meet the hectic data needs of a growing startup.
