From invoices to SMS rideshares, I make software that works

ABOUT

Back in 2022, I dove headfirst into software development, quickly evolving from building applications and websites to delivering production-ready solutions for a manufacturing company and other real-world clients.

Today, I design, develop, and maintain complex systems, from multi-tenant full-stack applications to scalable backend platforms like Golle, an SMS-first rideshare service for Amish communities. I’m passionate about solving challenging problems, writing maintainable code, and building software that makes a real impact.

When I’m not coding, you’ll probably find me hiking, mountain biking, or spending time with my wife.
