About me
Fundamentally, I am a problem solver. In my personal life, I love woodworking and both building and solving crossword puzzles. In my professional career, I've found my most fulfillment working within complex systems trying to design solutions that provide the best outcomes for all. Through this work, I also found that I have a passion for investigating how all of the disparate systems in an organization can come together to optimize outcomes for both employees and stakeholders. After starting my career in the world of education, I've decided to pivot into software engineering so I can continue to solve problems that matter and work to create better systems to manage those solutions. Technology has the power to fundamentally change the way we as a human species exist on this planet. I hope to work for a company that is using the power of technology to improve outcomes for all people and find satisfaction in writing code that moves the company towards that larger mission.
