About

Portrait photo of Cory Crombie

I work across software, systems, and infrastructure, focusing on building things that behave consistently and scale without drama. I like understanding the 'why' behind a system before moving on to the how or what; digging into low level concepts so the higher level abstractions I build aren’t blind guesses but grounded decisions.

My interests drift between backend development, homelab architecture, data, and whatever practical problem is in front of me. I prefer simple solutions, low dependency stacks, and designs that age well; tools that stay out of the way, behave predictably, and make sense all the way down.
