01 / About

Engineer. Builder. Problem solver.

I've been building for the web since 2005, working across agency campaigns, enterprise applications, learning platforms, and custom software.

My experience spans both sides of development—from polished, responsive interfaces to the APIs, databases, and integrations that power them.

I care about writing maintainable code, solving real problems, and making technology easier for people to use. Today, I continue developing software and independent products through Bridger Labs.
