I'm writing a book about surf parks! My background is in data engineering and I recently started a company called Surflytics to provide data analytics for surf athletes, entrepreneurs, and investors.--As a software engineer, I built web and mobile, consumer and corporate software for companies across the following industries: decentralized web, social networking, blockchain, decentralized finance (defi), fintech, data provenance, data analytics, gaming, augmented reality, ecommerce, and scientific research.I’ve used many technologies across Rust, Typescript, Python, and Go stacks to architect and implement applications (Kubo/IPFS, Node.js, Solidity, React.js, React Native, Web3.js, Django, Terraform, Docker, AWS Elasticbeanstalk, AWS ECS, AWS Lambda, CircleCI, Elasticsearch, nginx, Grafana, Prometheus, etc.)
