About
I'm an experienced full-stack web developer with a background in graphic design. I got started in web-development in 2010 when I started "Viewing page source" and got very interested in not only designing things for the web, but also building them. I've progressed through several companies from large enterprises to small startups. My history includes time at Ameriprise Financial, VSCO and DocuSign.
These days I'm spending my time at Honor Education as a lead software engineer tasked with constructing the learner and creator apps as well as an admin tool. I spend my days in TypeScript building out a NextJS app backed up by Java api's, a Postgres DB all deployed on AWS infra.
When not writing code or designing solutions to engineering challenges you can find me on my bike on the local trails here in Santa Fe, NM. I've also been known to frequent great coffee shops as well as breweries with good IPAs.
