About
I'm a full-stack software engineer building mobile and web apps. I like owning a feature the whole way, from the screen someone taps to the API behind it and the pipeline that ships it.
At Pelican Dynamics, I built Pelican Log from the ground up. It's a Flutter app for iOS, Android, and web where hunters, anglers, guides, and outfitters log trips and manage bookings, and it runs on Go microservices on AWS Lambda and DynamoDB. I launched it on the App Store and Google Play, and I deploy every release.
Before that, I built client-facing web apps with Next.js, React, and TypeScript, first as a front-end developer at CodeLink and then as a full-stack consultant. That work taught me to care about clean, responsive interfaces and consistent design, and it still shapes how I build.
My career in tech spans more than a decade, moving from hardware to program management and then into software. Leading software support and hardware programs shaped how I think about products, and I bring that business perspective to my engineering work.
In my free time, I tinker with TouchDesigner for visual design and obsess over specialty coffee and the right pour over ratio. I enjoy creative side projects that keep me curious and hands on.
