about

A science-fiction nerd with a slight obsession for Stephen King novels.
When I'm not hiking, I'm exploring new restaurants downtown.
I develop cool things for a living, but I also enjoy writing short stories and photography.

I’m always seeking new experiences to enhance my leadership skills and create new networking relationships. I’m happiest when I’m learning about new technologies and tools. As I grow in my career, I search for opportunities that allow me to design and develop software solutions for challenges of all shapes and sizes.
