I'm a full-stack software engineer from Austin, TX with over 2 years of experience in the JavaScript and Ruby ecosystems. Having earned multiple degrees from distinguished institutions, I combine disciplined problem-solving and a passion for continuous learning to design elegant, high-impact software solutions.
When not at the computer, you can typically find me outside riding a bike. Racing season is upon us! 🚴🏻♂️
Currently, I'm building Vispyr, an open-source, easy to install observability tool that brings continuous profiling to small development teams by combining profiles with traditional telemetry data to provide code-level insights into an application’s performance.
