About Me

I'm a Full-Stack Software Developer with experience in JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Python, SQL & NoSQL Databases, Docker, and AWS Infrastructure.

Prior to my time as a Growth and Developer Experience Engineer at Nylas, I spent 5 years working in construction as a Building Envelope and Structural Restoration Engineer. I decided to persue my interest in software after demonstrating an ability to build spreadsheets and small apps to improve workflow. Computers get to do all the interesting stuff in civil engineering, anyway.
