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.
Projects

A website uptime monitor built with Ruby on Rails, Redis, and PostgreSQL.
