I love to explore, create and drink coffee (not necessarily in that order). I've had the opportunity to do a bunch of cool things, like study abroad in Scotland and Japan. I appreciate art, whether it be in the form of some sick hip hop lyrics, a well made pizza, or a segment of DRY, commented code (with lots of tests written for it). Thanks for checking out my website.
Although my preference is to be in the thick of the code, I have knowledge and experience in many other aspects of web technology. I like to write code that is DRY, scalable and just works. Here is a biased representation of my proficiencies.
