Résumé

01 / about

Engineer by trade, generalist by habit

A longer version of the story: how I got here, how I like to work and what I'm up to right now.

[How you got into software - one honest paragraph. What you built first, what hooked you.]

I've spent 10 years building for the web, from eCommerce checkout funnels to a customer-facing API platform, mostly on the frontend and in the places where the product meets the systems behind it. I care about interfaces that are fast, accessible and intuitive.

I live in Omaha, Nebraska, and work remotely with teams across the US. I like small teams, short feedback loops and boring technology used well.

Outside work I read a lot, lift most mornings, play guitar and play more video games than I'd admit in an interview.
