Hello ✌️ I'm Rim Vilgalys. I'm a software engineer and writer interested in technology, culture, politics, business, ultimate frisbee, travel, and life in general. This site is a bit of a dev portfolio if I ever need work, and also a blog where I write about stuff.
Before working in tech, I was the founder of Brothers Vilgalys Spirits in Durham, NC. For 10 years we made Krupnikas Honey Liqueur, a spiced honey liqueur from a traditional Lithuanian recipe. We closed the distillery in 2023, but our Krupnikas recipe lives on at Durham Distillery.
I currently work at Google as a SWE on the reCAPTCHA & Web Risk team.
