I’m a software engineer from the Silicon Prairie.

I was born in Palo Alto, but grew up in Urbana — home to the University of Illinois and a thriving tech community. Thus, the Silicon Prairie.

I build web applications, and I get great joy out of seeing other people use what I’ve helped build.

I like bringing together people and technologies. To me, DevOps is cultural just as much as technical.

I’m obsessed with flowcharts, diagrams, and processes. There’s a good chance I’ll become a project manager someday.

This is an area of research I want to get more into, because it combines front-end work with corporate communication.

I love learning and sharing what I know.
