About Me
👋 I'm Dustin, a fullstack developer originally from Connecticut and currently based in London, UK working for Yelp.
I'm obsessed with making people more efficient. It brings me joy to help with automating the repetitive tasks in their life. In code, I find Rust scratches a similar itch of fearless efficiency but, I'm attempting my best to implement the practices taught in Grokking Simplicity in areas where using Rust isn't possible.
Outside of coding (and consuming all the medias, check out my favorites here), I love to cook, bake, design things, and a variety of atypical physical exercise. Specifically I've dabbled in Taekwondo, BJJ, Wing Chun, Parkour, and Aerial Silks.
