me

I'm a Software Developer who likes building websites and web apps that delight their users. I like to craft tools that make people's lives better, whether in big ways or small; professional or personal.

I tend to prefer working on the frontend using awesome tools and libraries like React/React Native or Ruby on Rails but I've got a ton of experience learning new (or old) things necessary to get a job done. From setting up serverless functions with node.js in AWS to creating custom Wordpress themes from scratch, whatever the problem is I can figure out a solution.

In my free time I like to spend time out on the golf course or playing with my dog, but I usually find myself behind a screen or a book learning a new framework or honing the knowledge I already have.
