About me

I'm Joe!

I am a Professional Naval Aviator turned Software Engineer with over 10 years and 2,000 flight hours of civil and military aviation experience.

My entire professional career has been one of working on teams, continuously learning, adapting quickly, managing complexity, and weighing risk. I am looking forward to taking those skills and applying them to a new position in software engineering.
