profile

I am a passionate and results-oriented software developer with over 18 years of experience crafting full-stack solutions. While I excel at tackling complex frontend challenges, ideating innovative approaches, and delivering polished, user-friendly UIs that elevate the user experience, I have contributed backend solutions in many roles. Throughout my career, I have been a vital contributor to the teams and organizations I've joined, driving consistent performance, pioneering cutting-edge technologies, and optimizing systems for efficiency.

I design and build dynamic APIs, UI features and components for applications using tools and technologies such as Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, Express and Tailwind CSS. Beyond my professional endeavors, I am an enthusiastic AI/ML explorer, hobbyist and creator, exploring reactive generative AI, agentic tooling and context driven prompting to create the next generation of tools, user interfaces and experiences online.

Once of my great joys is serving my community for over a decade as a mentor, water safety lead, musical instructor, surf therapy coach, code teacher and more as a volunteer with organizations that serve foster youth, at-risk kids healing from trauma as well as children with special needs.

I love building amazing user experiences and have had the opportunity to recently build out the front end UI of some amazing user facing projects from blank screen and beautiful graphics in a file to fully usable, playable or interactive online experiences.
