My name is Brian Jones and I hail from Eagle River, Alaska. I moved back to this beautiful state in 2018 after having lived in Japan for 12 years. I enjoy hiking with my daughter and our two border collies.
I've worn both EM and IC hats throughout my career. For thoughts on how I approach management and leadership please see my Manager README.
As for software engineering, I've continued to delve deeper down the stack as time goes on. In my early days dynamic langauges were fun and exciting, however, I started leaning into typed languages with runtimes such as Go and Haskell, and now Rust as I become more interested in low level resource efficiency.
Back when I was excited about Go I wrote a Riak (by Basho) database driver: https://github.com/riaken/riaken-core
I had the opportunity to build a Haskell team at one point. Wrote a streaming telnet parser or two, as well as a highly commented demo of the web stack we landed on.
A lot of my Rust experimentation isn't public in the form of Bevy game engine code writing. My latest tool is DepthZ which helps graph systems and infrastructure dependencies.
