Welcome to my website. I'm a Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and building backend services, cloud infrastructure, and web applications serving millions of users. This site acts as a hub for all my various online profiles and as a point of contact. Below you can find a bit more about me, and if you want to get in touch then head over to the contact page.
My interest in technology started very early. Growing up, I spent most of my time playing video games like RuneScape, World of Warcraft, and The Elder Scrolls which sparked a deeper curiosity in technology. Pretty soon I was experimenting with programming and tearing apart old computers. So I decided to study computer science at Temple University where I built a strong foundation in software engineering and also began to specialize in backend web development.
After graduating, I got my first job at a consulting firm with a diverse clientele across the public, private, and higher education sectors. I learned how to quickly adapt to new codebases and technologies as well as work with diverse teams including directly with clients and stakeholders. Most of all I learned about the financial cost of software development and how to balance engineering requirements with business needs.
Outside of work, I still spend most of my time gaming, modding, and contributing to open-source projects. In fact I still play World of Warcraft. But I also have a strong interest in philosophy and history, particularly ancient history, and enjoy exploring science-fiction/fantasy worlds like The Lord of the Rings, Warcraft, Warhammer, and Dune.
