Want to know more?

I'm a career backend engineer who's done a little bit of everything. I like programming on the JVM, but more generally I like writing maintainable code that solves business problems.

I live in beautiful Southeast Portland with my wife and our four crazy pets.

At work, I like...

  • solving business problems with code. That's why we do it!
  • working with teammates to build a fun, inclusive engineering culture.
  • mentoring junior engineers, especially those new to backend engineering.
  • establishing standards and building automation.
  • folding useful functional programming concepts into everyday code.

Outside of work, I like...

  • listening to metal.
  • playing Magic: The GatheringTM, pinball, and pickleball.
  • watching sports.
  • attempting various home improvement projects.
