A software engineer specifically and a lifelong techie in general, I’ve had a deep love for all things digital from my earliest years – one of my very first memories is of fiddling with my parents’ PC! With a professional history spanning from startups to the Fortune 500, I’ve worked on engineering teams as they scaled from just a handful up to dozens-strong and I’ve written code to stand front-and-center for bases of a million-plus users.

The core of the work I’ve done has been in web dev – especially React and React Native frontends – but I make it a point to mix things up with a measure of backend and other fields to avoid pigeonholing myself into any one stack. I’ve primarily used JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, and C# across a variety of tools and frameworks, but have also dabbled in over a dozen other languages beyond those. I’ve gotten plenty of practice independently bootstrapping on new technologies as I need them, and ultimately I’m driven less by which tools I use and more by what I can build!

My drive to create doesn’t end with work hours, either – at any given time I’ve got a whole raft of tech projects lined up, ranging from restoring and improving retro video game hardware to enhancing tabletop games with digital tools! Since my teenage years I’ve also tinkered with a variety of game engines and frameworks, and for even longer it’s been my dream to realize some more substantial video game concepts once I have the resources to put towards them.

For the moment, I’ve been taking some time to focus on a couple personal projects I’ve been meaning to get to for quite a few years, so I’m not actively looking for a new role. Nonetheless, I’d still love to hear from you if you’ve got a unique opportunity to discuss or would just like to talk tech!
