About Me

With a strong foundation in both frontend and backend development, I enjoy working across the full stack to deliver comprehensive solutions. I'm constantly learning and adapting to new technologies to stay at the forefront of the industry.

I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute my technical expertise while learning from others. My goal is to create software that not only meets technical requirements but also provides an exceptional user experience.

I grew up in Cedar Rapids, IA, and now live in Tacoma, WA. My life is full thanks to my amazing wife and our three sons. We also share our home with three lively dogs and a curious cat. When I have free time, I love playing video games, watching anime, and going hiking to enjoy the outdoors.
