hi.
I'm Julius Seporaitis. As a Head of Engineering at a startup,
I am building teams, tools, and technologies. Despite the title, I am a very
hands-on engineer and can find my way around in any of the mainstream
programming languages, but have most expertise in Python, Django, Ansible,
and AWS. I have spent about 14 years in startups and freelancing.
Outside of work, I have somewhat eclectic hobbies - amateur radio, beer
brewing, close-up magic, radio astronomy, street photography, to name a few,
and most recently - growing vegetables in the balcony. Below are some recent
scribblings, some - old. All of them represent my thoughts and not those of
any of my employer.
