About me

As an extremely curious and ambitious software developer, I'm motivated chiefly by a desire to learn and grow as much as possible while developing close bonds with those around me. I'm a people person who thrives in collaborative environments where team culture and personal growth are valued highly.

All my previous work as a musician, carpenter, and rock climbing instructor has helped form a clear vision for what I'm looking for in the future: a role in the collaborative creation of software that has a lasting impact on a diverse group of users.

Planning outdoor group adventures can be complicated. Gear UP gives you a platform to organize trips, gear, and who is responsible for bringing what. Our team worked in an agile environment to produce a web app that adheres to the principles of a Service-Oriented Architecture. The app implements OAuth flows and API consumption of weather and GPS data, as well as a robust testing suite utilizing VCR’s, WebMock, and RSpec Mocks.
