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 principal software engineer working on reseearch projects and leveraging AI to make the platform better. I spend my days working across the entire platform-from mative clients to the Java backend with TypesScript and Python thrown in for good measure.
When not writing code or designing solutions to engineering challenges you can find me on my bike here in Minneapolis, MN. I've also been known to frequent great coffee shops as well as breweries with good IPAs.
