My journey into software development began in college when I enrolled in my first programming course. That first class sparked a deep interested in technology that has yet to fade. The breadth of the field offers creative freedom, and I appreciate how accessible it is. All it takes is a laptop and a great idea to begin building something meaningful.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors through camping, fishing, and skiing. When not outdoors, I like to read, write, and play music.
