Hi, I'm
Console.WriteLine(aboutMe);
The magic of taking an idea and making it happen through code is what keeps me ticking. All complex problems have an elegant solution. I may not be the one to figure them all out, but I strive to participate as much as I can through open source, my professional work, continuous learning, and formal education. I am fully committed to learning how I can make technology more inclusive, high-performing and maintainable everyday.
Whether you're looking for a skilled developer or simply want to chat about the latest tech trends, I'd love to hear from you! I am primarily a web developer focused on backend performance and simple but fault-tolerant microservice architectures, but I also catch the frontend bug whenever I get the opportunity at work or in my personal projects due to my graphic design and animation background.
In the Navy, I was a Mass Communication Specialist. I mostly released photos, videos, and graphics for internal and external audiences. I was on an aircraft carrier and rode in lots of helicopters!
