Hey there! Thanks for stopping by.

Who am I?

I am Henry, dog and cat-lover extraordinaire. I am a people's person and I love board games.

I currently work as a software engineer. I build and maintain full stack web applications. I have a strong desire for excellence, and aim to create well-designed software and APIs. Good code should be easy to understand and include ample documentation to support downstream changes. I have a strong preference for agile methodologies.

My motto? The internet is our collective oyster. Take time to research the subject space. Do not waste time reinventing the wheel.. unless you really have to!

Playing and learning board games

In no particular order, here are some board games that I own:

Missing my friends back home

Bouldering

I've been bouldering for 3.5 months now and I absolutely love the sport. I am currently a V3-level boulderer. Check out my montage below! (Coming soon)
