Developing software professionally since 2014

Professional Journey

I've been developing software professionally since 2014, primarily as a web developer. I've worked at 4 separate companies — one corporate, two startups, and currently a digital marketing agency. At each, I've built skills as both a developer and a business thinker. I'm comfortable leading teams, architecting large-scale projects, and engaging directly with clients and stakeholders.

Learning & Exploration

I've always been a bit of a creative person, and with that comes a love for problem solving. I'm not afraid to take on challenges or learn new things — which led me to React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and more.

Although my professional experience is primarily in the .NET ecosystem, my curiosity pulled me into the JavaScript ecosystem as well. To the point where all of my side projects are now built with TypeScript. Take a look at my projects page to see what I've been building.

Outside of Work

Besides work, I'm a father to one amazing young boy and a husband to an amazing wife. I'm also a fan of golf, playing music, sports, photography, gaming, and whatever else catches my attention.
