About

Thoughtful engineering.
Dependable results.

I’m a software engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and making dependable systems easier to build, release, and maintain.

I currently work as a Computer Scientist for the U.S. Air Force, developing and maintaining software for aircraft simulation and testing. Working in a disciplined engineering environment has taught me to value quality, reliability, and clear collaboration.

Beyond work, I learn through books and hands-on projects. I also enjoy hiking, playing guitar, and cooking.
