About Shey

Hi there, I'm Shey. I’ve been building software for over 15 years.

I care about making things that work—whether it’s a system, a tool, or a process—and doing it in a way that makes sense for today and tomorrow.

When I’m not writing code, you’ll find me biking, bouldering, tinkering with electronics, or hanging out with my cat.
