About Me
Software Engineer, Dev Ops
I'm dedicated software developer who has maintained legacy code bases and created new ones from scratch. I enjoy writing readable, reusable, and reliable code, working with great teams who have great taste, problem solving, and innovating while shipping tested, high quality code.
As a teenager I've loved to learn and work with computers. I taught myself to program as a way to break the boredom. I soon realized that the world of programming was endless and this had a life changing impact on me. I went on to become an open source contributor from my parent's basement. I attended college to become a web developer. All the while I worked for a web design agency and continued to hone my skills and build my experience.
Since my humble beginnings I've had the opportunity to share my passion with others and engage with companies in fields such as travel, health, automobile producers, the nuclear energy industry, and even some clients I can't even tell you about ;)
I've been given the opportunity to speak to small and large audiences at software conferences about contributing to open source, self taught programming, and improving one's skill as an engineer. I've been passionate about code for over 10 years now, and I don't see that passion going away any time soon.
