Where I've been.

Growing up in beautiful Northern Colorado I've had a lifelong affinity for the outdoors.

I love paddle boarding, mountain biking, and puttering around on my Royal Enfield Himalayan all along the front range.

When I'm not outdoors I can typically be found playing video or tabletop games, or tinkering around with my 3-D printer.

I'm a lifelong maker and love diving into technical processes head-on and figuring them out.

This is part of what drove me to study bronze sculpture in my undergrad and fueled my 3.5 year stint in the bronze industry.

What I'm doing.

In 2022 I made the decision to dive into yet another technical process head-on by enrolling in Alchemy Code Lab, a full-stack coding bootcamp.

Unfortunately, the school closed abruptly and permanently in early 2023.

Luckily for me I was absolutely hooked and had found a new passion in web development, so I set out to find a problem worth solving.

Working with local D&D groups I developed Grimoire for the Modern Mage, my first full stack app.

I was also looking for a way to give back and began volunteering as a mentor with Codethedream.org.

What I hope to do.

One of the most attractive aspects of software engineering for me is the ability for my labor to go towards real, tangible good in the world.

I also have a passion for learning and teaching, and love being on either side of a mentor/mentee relationship.

While I've been keeping busy doing freelance work for folks in my community, I'm looking for full-time employment as a frontend/full-stack software engineer.

I'm excited to bring my strong coding skills and high emotional intelligence to a team built around empathetic communication and mindful collaboration.
