Let's do an #intro. 👋

I'm in tech since 2010 and working as a dev since 2013. Specialized in backend development, especially with Elixir. Recently I've transitioned into an engineering management role which fits my interest for #SociotechnicalSystems, #PsychologicalSafety, #MentalHealth and in generally speaking #BeingHumanInTech. 🙏

Nerd snipe me about #DDD, #veganism, #ttrpgs (especially narrative-first), #videogames, and all things #scifi and #space. 😄

I'm a parent of two awesome kids. ❤

#NASA experts still aren’t certain why the thrusters suddenly stopped working. After recording some $1.6 billion in cost overruns, #Boeing seems unlikely to ever make money on #Starliner. #CFO Brian West told investors that the company had a decision to make about future investment in the program after it fulfills its obligations to NASA for a half-dozen flights to the #ISS. https://fortune.com/2024/08/25/boeings-ceo-kelly-ortberg-starliner-writedown-nasa-spacex-cash-reserves/

Boeing’s new CEO must now weigh its duty to NASA vs. strained cash reserves

The decision about the future of the struggling Starliner program now rests with Boeing’s newly installed chief executive officer, Kelly Ortberg.

The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter made history on August 19, 2021, when it completed the first powered, controlled flight on another planet, a feat that's been called a "Wright Brothers moment."
