Unix Philosophy
Focused tools with emphasis on performance, immutability, reproducibility, and modularity.
Can't stop, won't stop
Hi, I'm Avery Freeman
I'm a Solutions Architect
I build everything from focused tools to complex, automated pipelines for solving real-world problems.
A little about the work
Built with intention
Process Aware
High-level user-centric understanding of specifications required for end-to-end solutions.
Attentive and Pragmatic
I balance optimism and skepticism, stay grounded in basic computing theory and systems design, and keep the organizational mission in view.
Toolchain Steward
I choose the right tools and applicable toolchain, audit plugin interactions, and maintain or improve the systems I depend on.
