Hey, y'all! I'm Blake -- a software engineer at Compound Foundry and an occasional guest on Friday Afternoon Deploy. I live in Fayetteville, AR with my daughter, two dogs, and two cats. I've been in the software world for almost a decade now, and was in data analytics for nearly as long before that. I'm a constant and life-long learner, and love to teach others.I'm the founder of Sleepy Fox, where I help start-ups with strategic and tactical technical direction. If this is something you're interested in, please feel free to reach out.My current hobbies and interests include: beer (all kinds), tacos (anything wrapped in a tortilla), games (board and video games), and fitness (primarily strength training).
