About Me

I'm a software engineer focused on building delightful customer experiences through thoughtful, efficient solutions. Throughout my career, I've specialized in technical leadership, AI applications, and web development that prioritizes simplicity and performance.

Work & Projects

My approach to engineering is straightforward: find the simplest solution that delivers exceptional results. Complex architecture often creates more problems than it solves, which is why I consistently advocate for elegant, resource-efficient implementations.

In my spare time, I created Rivian Roamer, a companion web application that helps prospective buyers find their ideal Rivian vehicle and enables current owners to link their accounts for an enriched ownership experience. The project has been so successful that elements of it have inspired features in the official Rivian.com shop experience.

Beyond Tech

When I'm not writing code, I'm exploring the outdoors—hiking trails, running, off-roading in my Rivian, and taking photos. These activities keep me grounded and often inspire my best technical thinking.

I believe in authenticity and empathy, both in building products and working with people. Understanding the real needs behind a request leads to better solutions.

I'm legally blind, but I've turned this challenge into a strength, developing a unique perspective on accessibility and user experience that informs my work.

I bring intensity to projects that matter, but I don't take myself too seriously. The best solutions come when we combine technical excellence with genuine human connection.
