Intro

What gets me all revved up? Code as crisp as a morning breeze, and algorithms with the elegance of a 1995 Ford Bronco.

I graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder where I received Bachelors and Masters degrees in Aerospace Engineering with an emphasis in Fluids & Propulsion. Soon after graduation, I realized I was spending all my free time doing web development, so I decided to transition to doing it full-time.

I began programming in 2008 and have been doing it professionally since 2012. During that time, I've worked with (and learned form) a lot of great people. I've worked on projects ranging in size from 2 people to 600. Most importantly, I've built stuff that I'm really proud of and learned a lot along the way.

Work

Over the course of my career, I've found myself working on a wide array of technologies and side projects. Here are some of the companies I've worked for and a handful of projects:

• Handshake - Work on high-traffic, user-to-user messaging system processing billions of interactions annually.
• Elevation Corporate Health - Oversaw the entire tech department, including but not limited to development, QA, ops, infrastructure, security, and hiring.
• Prospect Cards - Oversaw the end-to-end product lifecycle as a startup, from conceptualization and design to development, testing, and deployment
• SpotX - Managed the entire client-side video playback experience with a focus on JavaScript optimization for an efficient user experience
• Raytheon - I was a Software Test Engineer II on the GPS program.

Please, feel free to reach out if you want more information about my work on any of these projects.

About

I live in Crested Butte, Colorado where I do my best to enjoy skiing, mountain biking and generally being outside. I enjoy coding for all the same reasons as other inquisitive minds. The problem-solving, creativity, and gratification that development offers on a daily basis keeps me enthused. There's always more to learn.
