Born curious, made disciplined in the Air Force, sharpened in a SCIF. Six years on the flight line before I traded torque wrenches for terminals — I show up early, document everything, and don't ship anything I wouldn't sign my name to.

I work the seam between backend and UI: half-day in Spring Boot, half-day in Angular, all day caring about the human at the other end. Currently building mission-critical full-stack systems at Peraton and finishing a Master's in CS at CU Boulder on the side.

Off the clock: long-form articles, slow albums, longer books, and a steady habit of taking things apart to see how they're put together.
