I’m Levi, a self taught programmer who grew up on a farm out in the middle of nowhere. I’m currently working as DevOps engineer and when I’m not doing that I’m building personal tools and projects for fun and profit. You can find some of my OSS contributions here. I’m lucky enough to have been working remotely for the last 4+ years and have been able to travel and see many places.
