Software Engineer

What do you do?

I spend my days making myself as useful as I can, whether thats building software or mentoring.

Why?

I am a problem solver at my core, and an advocate for others. I find my flow state when I am solving something right in front of me, software, jiu jitsu, can all be broken down into constituent parts. If my contributions make someone elses life better than I have succeeded.
