I make the people around me better.
I also write full-stack software the next developer will thank me for.
I'm a senior developer, and I spent three years leading a team before that. The part of the job I care about most is the people. I like pairing with someone until they're unstuck, calling out their wins, and trusting them with the hard stuff so they grow. Good code matters, but good teams are what make it happen, and I want to be the teammate who makes everyone's day a little easier.

Beyond the Code
When I'm not playing with code or AI, you can usually find me:
- At the Table: Playing complex strategy board games or PC games.
- Outside: Fly fishing, playing pickleball, hiking, or golfing, where I usually see every corner of the course.
- Unwinding: Watching a movie, reading, cooking and smoking food, collecting minerals and fossils, or finding a good dinner out.
