I am a driven software developer that is passionate about delivering tangible benefits in the lives of others. I graduated from Mizzou in May 2019 with a degree in Computer Science and am currently working at Boeing.

Coder

I love solving problems and learning new skills to deliver interesting and useful solutions.

I've developed valuable solutions to real problems. One summer in college I developed a web application for managing my cousin's goat farm. My capstone project at Mizzou was an online web forum that existed to help end the stigma surrounding mental health issues.

I also like to have fun and explore what I can do with software. In high school I used Pascal to make a snake game and just recently I made a multiplayer card game based on the classic pitch game using React. My Garmin watch is also constantly sporting one of the many custom watch faces I have developed using Monkey C and their SDK.

My industry experience is encapsulated in work with Express Scripts, Garmin, and currently Boeing. My experience includes telephony server migrations, embedded software development, realtime software development, UI development, DevOps and tooling, testing and support, Scaled Agile Framework and scrum methodologies, and numerous other day-to-day operations.
