Hi my name is Jilles, pronounced "Yi-les". Like Willis in Bruce Willis, but the W is a Y.

I am a 30 year old software developer living and working in Austin, Texas. My current employer is Udemy where I am on the core-services team. At work I mostly work on critical volume Spring Boot services writing Kotlin. For my personal projects I love using Python and Django.

This blog is over 10 years old but I haven't been very consistent. I'm trying to do better.
