Howdy!

While my strength is giving life to under-documented, complex systems, my passion is developer experience. I love finding ways to blend them.

Pull Request Descriptions
Great descriptions are the first line of defense for healthy code review culture. PRs are reviewed faster and more easily, future changes can be made with confidence, and they set the tone for other engineers on the team. Online discourse may say summaries are misguided when changes are linked to tickets and teams are aligned, but my experience has not reflected that.
Python Logging Practices
Every project logs a little differently. Partly because there are a dozen ways to configure, partly due to consistency generally being hard. These practices have served my teams best out of the alternatives I've tried. You can separate logging from API contracts without sacrificing what you need.
