About

Hi, I’m $Richard Brown, a solutions architect and principal software engineer, which mostly means drawing boxes, deleting other boxes and asking what happens when this one falls over. Coding often with Claude, rarely by hand.

What I care about: systems that are boring to operate, deep modules and shallow interfaces, and decisions that are written down before they are argued about.

Outside work: Running, cycling, hiking, reading, lamenting buying a house that "needs work".
