Andrew Monks

I develop ice cream recipes and noodle on database software. I’m also helping out a bit at Resin Recyclables.

I watch movies most days. Recently,

★★★★★ Westermann: Memorial to the Idea of Man If He Was an Idea,

★★½☆☆ Longlegs,

★★★☆☆ The Usual Suspects,

★★★★☆ Kinds of Kindness, and,

★★★★½ Devil in a Blue Dress.

I love exploring. I made a nice map of places I have opinions about. It doesn't say what the opinions are, so you'll have to make your own. The map scrolls pretty slow; it used to be faster.

I was a staff engineer at Samsara Inc., where I worked on the mobile app platform and the hiring program, and occasionally on mechanisms like SOC2 and open source license compliance.
