About

Mission-driven Systems Engineer with a passion for technology, exploration, and the future.

I’ve always sought out challenges and opportunities that allowed me to increase my knowledge of the world and grow as a developer. My passion to help others and solve problems has led me down a great path to where I am today.

As a developer, while working for a Fortune 500 Corporation, I enjoy using my obsessive attention to detail, my out-of-the-box ideas, love of standards, and my work ethic to increase the productivity of any team I am on. This is why I’m excited to make a big impact at an innovative company.
