I am a software engineer. I do this work because I am passionate about architecting solutions to problems / pain points and creating things that make people's lives easier and better!

I have experience building full stack applications with JavaScript, React, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Redux, Node.js, SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Express, Git, AWS, HTML5, CSS3, and Heroku. Other technologies I've worked with include TypeScript, Python, Swift, and Playwright.

Prior to becoming an engineer I worked as a project manager, supervising the booking and logistics of multi-million dollar first class National tours of Broadway shows. Whatever work I do, it is informed by my commitment to a passion for details, organization, accuracy, and delivering on my word.

In my free time you can find me at the New York Philharmonic, whipping up new recipes in the kitchen, lifting weights, traveling, and working hard at being the favorite uncle to my nieces and nephews.
