About
Developer with a systems mindset.
My background combines application analysis, computer operations, IT systems, networking, software development, and game development. I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Southern New Hampshire University, and I enjoy understanding how systems work underneath the surface, then turning that understanding into working software, useful tools, and reliable workflows.
