About Me

I am a self-taught application and systems architect with 10+ years of product development and 15+ years professional programming experience working for small to mid-sized companies. I specialize in designing databases for complex data sets with an eye towards accessibility, extensibility, and integration. On the application side, I architect and implement multi-component systems with highly modular and re-usable patterns combining previous years of system solutioning and developer operations experience with clean and expressive code.
