About Me

People, productivity, and purpose. These are the three things that I value deeply, and three things to which I strive to dedicate my time. As a software engineer I work to bring these values to every project I develop and I constantly seek to improve my processes for collaboration, execution and self evaluation. I'm always looking to explore new projects, opportunities and ideas so feel free to reach out, I'm always down to talk!
