About
My journey into the tech world began in the 2010s, when I took on the task of setting up a multiplayer Minecraft server for myself and my middle school friends. That experience sparked an immediate fascination with software. Since those early days, my curiosity in technology has bloomed into a deep appreciation of its potential to enrich our lives.
In my career thus far, I have had the privilege of building software for a large defense company, a small tech shop in the railroad industry, the Department of Energy, an insurance corporation, and a startup in the legal tech industry.
In my current position as a consultant at Source Allies, I am applying my expertise in the realm of cloud applications and infrastructure. I have the pleasure of working with an incredible team of experts to help our partners in their delivery of high-quality software solutions.
When I am not plugging away in VSCode, you'll find me planning another gravel bike adventure, dreaming of living out of an RV, or shooting pool with friends.
