More Than Just Code

Driven by Curiosity

My fascination with technology pairs with a love for discovery. I'm always exploring new frontiers, from breakthroughs in space via the JWST to the latest in AI literature (I'm an avid reader and an even more avid *adder* of books to my Goodreads list!). Learning what's next is a genuine thrill.

Hands-On & Practical

I believe in understanding tech from the ground up. I've built multiple PCs for myself and others, and configured the Linux server that (hopefully!) is delivering this page. Getting hands-on with hardware is just as rewarding as crafting elegant software.

Interests & Personality

When I unplug, you might find me deep in a game of Gloomhaven or D&D, hitting the disc golf course, or playing drums. My music taste is eclectic (Hamilton's a big one!), and I come fully equipped with a repertoire of dad jokes and puns—you've been warned!

Ready to Contribute

I'm excited to bring this blend of technical skill, relentless curiosity, hands-on experience, and a proactive, positive attitude to a team that values innovation. I'm confident I can quickly become a valuable asset and help build amazing things.

Professional Journey

While my professional background isn't directly in software development, these roles have equipped me with valuable soft skills like communication, problem-solving, and teamwork in fast-paced environments.
