About Me

I spent my formative years in Colorado, developing a lifelong affinity for the outdoors while exploring the Rocky Mountains. My upbringing as part of a military family eventually required a high degree of adaptability, leading me from the landscapes of Florida to an impactful several years living in Germany. These early experiences instilled in me both a resilience to change and a deep appreciation for the natural world.

My time in Europe was transformative. By the end of my residency, I had visited 21 countries, gaining firsthand exposure to historical landmarks and diverse traditions. Standing amidst sites that predate modern history was a humbling experience that fostered a profound respect for global cultures. While I certainly miss the culinary diversity of the continent, the international perspective I gained continues to influence my personal and professional outlook.

Returning to Colorado, I pursued a degree in Computer Science at Colorado State University starting in 2020. Navigating the challenges of the pandemic during my first year sharpened my ability to work effectively in remote, self-driven environments. Throughout my studies, I focused on the full software development lifecycle—designing, testing, and deploying solutions across a variety of modern tech stacks. I am particularly well-versed in Agile methodologies and the Scrum framework, and I am eager to apply this rigorous academic foundation to the evolving challenges of the industry.

Today, I am back in the heart of the Rockies, balancing personal technical projects with a passion for the Colorado lifestyle. Whether snowboarding in the winter or camping in the autumn, I find that my best work is fueled by the balance I find outdoors. While I am firmly rooted here for the foreseeable future, I remain open to new adventures and the professional growth that life's next chapter may bring.
