About me

I am a software engineer and Marine Corps veteran with an additional background in business and writing. I have designed and built in many mediums throughout my life, from computer games to computer hardware, construction, entrepreneurship, and writing. Now I do it in the greatest medium of them all - software.

As a software engineer, I am passionate about crafting amazing user and community experiences with robust software. Outside of software engineering, I am passionate about child development, education, entrepreneurship, writing, and games. I also love to help build team camaraderie and strong mindsets for grit, growth, and excellence in myself and others.

My technical interests include web development, game development, cloud computing, databases, networking, DevOps, and platform engineering.
