I work at Anthropic on Bun and Claude Code.

I'm interested in language specifications and type systems. I've been called a TypeScript wizard at least a few times. It's nice to meet you.

Currently in San Francisco, CA. Listening to Three Birdsong - Live at Alexandra Palace London, 24th May 2023 by Four Tet, 4TLR.
