About Me
I'm a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building complex projects with teams at companies like Mindbody and AppFolio. Currently, I partner with clients directly to remove blockers and bring their visions to life, while maintaining the flexibility to balance work and life. I'm a true full-stack developer who loves solving problems and creating end-to-end solutions.
When I'm not coding, you can find me adventuring with my two little ones, trying my hand at latte art, enjoying life on the Central Coast of California, and getting lost in fantasy books.
Check out my values below to learn what's important to me and what I bring to every project.
