ABOUT ME

Engineer · Outdoor Enthusiast · Lifelong Learner

THE PROFESSIONAL SIDE

8 years building software across mobile, web, and embedded systems. What drives me is taking complex problems and turning them into elegant, scalable solutions.

I've led small teams from MVP to production, mentored engineers, and made architectural decisions that impact thousands of users. Great software comes from technical excellence, user empathy, and collaborative culture.

Currently building RidgeKit, a collaborative mapping platform for outdoor enthusiasts. It keeps me sharp on modern mobile development, real-time systems, and product design.

BEYOND THE CODE

When I'm not writing code, you'll find me outside. I'm passionate about hiking, camping, and exploring nature. Being in the wilderness clears my mind and reminds me why thoughtful design matters.

I'm also a family man. My wife and I share a love for adventure and the outdoors. Balancing work and life isn't about perfect equilibrium—it's about being fully present in whatever I'm doing.

Work hard, play hard. When solving tough technical problems, I'm all in. But I also know when to step away, recharge, and come back with fresh perspective.
