03 / ABOUT
I've spent more than two decades working across agencies, financial services, manufacturing, and other organizations—building websites and applications that are functional, maintainable, and genuinely useful.
My background in visual art shapes how I approach engineering. I value simplicity, thoughtful composition, and finding elegant solutions to complicated problems.
Whether I'm working with stakeholders, mentoring developers, untangling legacy code, or creating something new, I care about the people who will use and maintain what we build.
