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 Gathering^TM, pinball, and pickleball.
• watching sports.
• attempting various home improvement projects.
