About

Developer, leader,
builder of things.

I'm a software developer based in Springfield, MO who's spent the last 6+ years building web and mobile applications across healthcare, real estate, logistics, and SaaS.

I've worn a lot of hats — from writing the first line of code on greenfield projects to leading teams of 7+ developers through complex builds. I've been a CTO, a senior dev, and an entrepreneur who built and sold a product.

What drives me: taking messy, manual, or broken processes and turning them into clean systems that actually work. I care about code quality, developer experience, and shipping things that make a real difference.
