About Me
I am a Full Stack Software Engineer with over 13 years of experience working on high traffic enterprise grade applications. I have a passion for elegant code; I do not cut corners. I take pride in my work and bring that passion and dedication to every project I work on whether it big or small. My favorite aspect of programming is taking a wild idea and turning it into a reality that is used by millions of people every day. I’m very passionate about keeping up with industry trends. I spend my free time with my family and 1 year old son. I also enjoy DIY projects around the house and spending time outdoors and in the garage.
