About Me
Hey, I’m Paul!

I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.![](/img/7fbd291548640cc6b89687a6711bbb01.svg)
I currently live in New York, New York.
I’m a software engineer. I’ve used OCaml, Ruby and TypeScript (with React) professionally, and I really enjoy Rust. Programming languages and compilers are really cool! I’ve also contributed to Postgres. I use vim as my text editor.
I’m a huge fan of Wisconsin sports teams. I built plaintextsports.com so I could more closely follow the Bucks, Brewers and Packers.![](/img/5dd4728c1e193eba36f43898438129ef.svg)
I built a command-line JSON viewer, jless while working on Plain Text Sports.![](/img/161de824bd7b0ced316249d737538f8e.svg)
