crueber

I'm @crueber, a Director of Engineering in the Minneapolis Metro who's been building systems since the 90s. I started at nine years old with GWBASIC and Turbo Pascal, spent a decade in Java professionally, and have grown from writing code to leading the teams doing that. These days I direct engineering teams, but I'm still an engineer and architect at heart; My tastes runs toward Golang, Rust, SolidJS and HTMX, SQLite or RocksDB when they'll do, and simplicity over ceremony every time. Off the clock I'm a father, an amateur radio operator (N0ZSY), a folk musician who sings and plays guitar, and a tabletop gamer. I care about liberty, privacy, and code that respects both, which is why crypto and self-hosted software keep finding their way into my side projects. I endure Minnesota winters with the best humor I can manage.
