Triston Armstrong

Senior Software Engineer

I build useful apps that make daily tasks easier ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ. I work with TypeScript, Rust, and Python ๐Ÿ and enjoy learning new things.

Outside of coding, I like gaming ๐ŸŽฎ, spending time with family ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ, and keeping up with tech ๐Ÿš€. I focus on creating good work and working well with others ๐Ÿค.


About Me ๐Ÿ‘ฝ

Thanks for stopping by! Here's a bit about me.

My journey into software development started with a simple question: "How does that work?" ๐Ÿค” That curiosity led me to work on everything from IoT software โš™๏ธ to revenue cycle management ๐Ÿ’ฐ and enterprise projects ๐Ÿข. Along the way, Iโ€™ve honed my skills in debugging ๐Ÿž, troubleshooting ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ, and finding creative solutions to tough problems.

I enjoy solving tough problems ๐Ÿš€ and building things that matter โœจ. Every mistake is a chance to improve ๐ŸŒฑ, and that approach has made me a stronger engineer.

When Iโ€™m not coding, Iโ€™m spending time with my family ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ or exploring new ideas and technologies ๐Ÿ’ก.

What I'm Up To Now ๐Ÿ›ธ

Where I'm at, what I'm focused on, and what I'm not

Lately, Iโ€™ve been diving into Rust ๐Ÿฆ€ and TypeScript โŒจ๏ธ, working on personal projects that challenge and expand my skills.

Iโ€™m also contributing to open-source ๐Ÿค, but my main focus is building tools that solve real problems for me ๐Ÿ› ๏ธโ€”whether it's aggregators or just practical utilities ๐Ÿงฐ.

Outside of coding, I spend time with my family ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ and explore Thailand ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ. Lately, Iโ€™ve been experimenting with photography ๐Ÿ“ท, trying to capture the beauty of wildlife and the world around me ๐Ÿž๏ธ.

What Iโ€™m Not Doing โŒ

  • Chasing the rat race ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ โ€“ Iโ€™m not grinding for promotions, climbing corporate ladders, or overworking myself for someone elseโ€™s bottom line. Instead, I focus on meaningful work that improves my life.
  • Burning out ๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€“ I enjoy coding, but Iโ€™m not sacrificing my health or personal time for endless hustle. Balance matters.
  • Building things I donโ€™t believe in โŒ โ€“ Iโ€™m not chasing trends or making things just because theyโ€™re 'hot.' If it doesnโ€™t solve a real problem or spark my interest, Iโ€™m not doing it.

Right now, my priority is doing fulfilling work, enjoying life, and growing at my own pace. ๐Ÿš€
