About Me
Full-stack engineer with 10+ years of experience building scalable web applications across enterprise and growth-stage environments. I specialize in full-stack engineering with a track record delivering revenue-driving features at Dropbox and leading full-stack architecture for federal and enterprise clients. Adept at AI-assisted development workflows, cross-functional collaboration, and technical mentorship.
I believe we're at a fascinating inflection point where AI can be used in tandem with experience and a good grasp of fundamentals to build better software — creating improvements that will dramatically change how we develop it.
When I'm not coding or experimenting with AI tools, you'll find me coaching football, playing video games, or hanging out with family.
