About me

I’m a software engineer interested in front end development, all things JS, and performance tuning.

Currently, I’m a Senior Software Engineer at Tekmetric.

Previously:

I was a Principal Front End Engineer at Fundrise on a skunkworks team, building out the greenfield products Equitize and RealAI.
I was a Senior Software Engineer at Dorsata working on the Dorsata Prenatal Electronic Health Record.
I was a UI/UX Software engineer at CCRi (now General Atomics Intelligence) on Stealth, a web-based map client for complex spatial analytics and visualizing geospatial data, Arpeggio, a marketing and sales analytics webapp built for Samsung and Spotify, and GeoMesa, an open-source, distributed, geospatial database.

Using a centralized database for potential new member (PNM) contact information, photos, and event sign-ins, PNMs sign-in at each Rush event they attend, and then Brothers can organize and discuss their thoughts on each PNM by using the app.

For Fox Sake, a small (and now, sadly, non-functional) web app for a quick, daily comparison on headlines about the president from Fox News, tracking Obama vs Trump on the same number of days into their respective presidencies.

I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2014 and majored in Computer Science.
I was the first Senior Resident of Tuttle-Dunnington Residence Hall.
I served as a Class of 2014 Trustee and on the Young Alumni Council after I graduated.

I see a lot of live music and keep a running list of shows I’m interested in and going to.
I homebrew beer, and I’m always up for trying a new beer. 🍻
