👋🏾 Hey there! I’m Jahvon, a software and platform engineer based in Boston. My work tends to cluster around developer tooling and cloud-native systems, but I follow my curiosity into a lot of different spaces. That has taken me through teaching, community work, and more than a few projects I couldn’t fully explain when I started them.
I build things to understand them. This site is a record of what I’m working on, what I’m figuring out, and occasionally what I got wrong.
