Professionally
I am a proud alumnus of the University of Michigan (Class of 2014), having received my Bachelors of Science in Engineering from their College of Computer Science.
I am currently looking for employment after working as a (senior) software engineer for Thomson Reuters for a decade; you can find my resume on my Contact page.
My speciality there was programming in C#, developing various features, while also focusing on creation and automation of a build platform that allowed our product to have testable nightlies. I built this platform from the ground up, involving many layers of scripts interacting with a YAML build pipeline, Git repositories, and Azure Dev Ops build agents hosted on AWS EC2 instances.
My overall goal is simply to earn a living and pay for my dog and my toys.
Personally
I am a proud dog-dad to a lab/pit mix, and I either play video games (often streaming on Twitch), or watch others play games I neither have the time nor energy to beat. My main hobby revolves around my car, which I wrench on in my garage and built from the ground up; then drive in open track days (OTDs) and high-performance driving events (HPDEs) throughout the state of Michigan.
I’ve taken to competing in #GRIDLIFE, in the StreetMod class, and if you attend their Midwest Fest, come find me and say hi! I have a handful of sponsors I am incredibly grateful for, and wouldn’t do this without their support.
I am directly involved with the organization Summer Track Days, and you can often find me instructing novices at their events all around the state of Michigan, as well as helping manage logistics.
