About me
I’m Avery, a software developer fueled by a lifelong fascination with systems-oriented learning. Raised on a farm where I trained racehorses and tinkered with all kinds of farm equipment, I've always been driven by curiosity and a competitive spirit that pushes me to further my conceptual understanding of the world around me. I grew this passion from taking apart old clocks, to fixing old tractors, to mastering musical instruments via self-study, to navigating the world of tech after finding success in outdoor equipment maintenance work during my undergrad degree. My tenure in tech sales highlighted a gap in my understanding of the software I pitched, prompting me to dive deeper. Interactions with in-house developers piqued my interest, and soon, the same curiosity that drove me to dissect machinery and learn music theory led me to software development. Today, I merge my diverse experiences and systems-oriented thinking to innovate and craft efficient software solutions.
