Howdy, I'm Aydrian. 👋

I'm a developer advocate, engineer, and community builder based in New York, NY. Originally from Indiana (always a Hoosier), I've spent the last decade helping developers build better things — through writing, speaking, and open-source work.

My main language is TypeScript, though I've dabbled in Python, Ruby, and Go over the years. I'm currently on a slow but steady journey learning Rust — the compiler keeps me honest.

Outside of code: I'm a proud uncle, a Corgi dad to the legendary Atticus, and an enthusiastic but perpetually average home cook.

I believe developer advocacy is fundamentally about empathy — meeting developers where they are, understanding their problems, and making hard things feel achievable.
