About

Software engineer based in Tempe, AZ. I build practical tools for humans, teams, and machines — working across AI agents, mobile applications, automation systems, and infrastructure. I turn messy workflows into systems that people actually use. Outside code, I climb, row, knapp stone, cycle, and watch films.
