SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

ABOUT

I want to collaborate with other enthusiastic and hard-working technologists to deliver world-class solutions that are pragmatic, scalable, secure, and most important: customer-centric.

My heart lies in server-side programming, but I also have a not-so-secret fascination with automated testing and DevOps.

When I'm not obsessing about code, you can find me playing a nerdy strategy game or exploring the world at large.
