About

Received my first computer at the age of six. After using it for the first time, I came to the conclusion .2 seconds later that computers were probably going to be my jam for the rest of my life. Originally started with Computer Engineering in college, and like any other responsible 18-year-old, had no back-up plan. Changed my major a couple of times before somehow landing on the odd choice of a double English-Computer Science degree. (Maybe we can talk about the meta-physical meaning of Don Quixote after a code review) Tried giving this programming thing a try, and the six-year-old boy who played "Bit Bot's Math Voyage" for a month straight came back alive. To say I was hooked is an understatement. I believe that anyone can code, but it takes dedication and persistence to engineer great software. I pride myself on never being satisfied with my work; knowing that a project is never finished. Nothing gives me more excitement than removing unnecessary code and shrinking a code base. If you're looking for a full-stack developer, let's talk. Summary: 7+ years in full stack .NET development. I fly airplanes in a simulator on the side.
