About

I'm a software developer based in Dayton, Ohio, with a strong passion for front-end development. I began programming in 2012 and have kept evolving with the field ever since. Beyond formal education, I put a lot of time into self-directed learning through platforms like Team Treehouse, which laid the foundation for my first professional role at Dealer Specialties. That job quickly taught me that real-world development demands adaptability, problem-solving, and constant growth.

I was originally drawn to programming by wanting to build video games. Over time I found that while code is critical, design, systems thinking, and creative direction matter just as much in bringing ideas to life. I've spent the last decade building up my skills in design and 3D art, and I keep looking for projects that push both the technical and creative sides.

During my studies I developed a deep appreciation for web development — the ability to build platforms that connect people and shape digital experiences was too compelling to ignore. I shifted my focus to the web, where I've worked across both frontend and backend systems, and I still approach every project assuming there's more to learn.

Outside of development I work on my drift car, make dance music, and do digital and 3D art. Building — in software or in the garage — has always been at the core of what drives me.
