About Me

I am a creative mind with a passion for results driven problem solving. As a full-stack web developer, I pride myself on clean code that is easy to read and adjust while still delivering a complex result. My history as a flagship retail manager and bartender has helped to develop my skills as an outgoing and unique individual who isn’t afraid of getting hands dirty, as well as leveraging the tools around to establish best practices to exceed expectations.

When I'm not in front of a screen I enjoy collecting records, going to live shows, playing guitar, and hanging out with friends.
