About me

I have always enjoyed the struggle to improve oneself. First as a musician, and now as a software developer. The constantly expanding industry leaves me with near endless options to pursue and grow, pushing me to learn and create as much as I can.

I am a back-end software development primarily in Ruby on Rails. This journey I am on has given me more fulfillment and excitement than any other industry I've had a hand in. I get to work both independently and collaboratively, a variety I have always enjoyed. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Sweater Weather is a solo back-end application that consumes 2 external APIs (MapQuest and OpenWeather) and exposes endpoints for a front-end application to consume. Allows an origin and destination to be sent, and the time to travel and the weather forecast upon arrival will be returned in JSON. Also includes basic user authentication with generation of API tokens for users.
