About

My Story

I spent years looking to translate my passion and creativity into the right career. It’s not that I didn’t love teaching and playing music professionally, I still do, but I needed to evolve into something with more opportunity for growth. Part of that evolution yielded 2 degrees: a BA in Psychology and a BS in Software Engineering.

Now, I bring an unusual combination to the table: deep technical skills paired with 15+ years of understanding what makes people tick. Because of that, I can build applications that don't just work, they feel intuitive and solve real problems.

What sets me apart is my instinct for UX strategy and user empathy; I can spot friction points that others might miss because I've spent years speaking with clients and watching them learn new concepts in real time.

At heart, I'm still a creative who happens to love solving problems with code. I still approach each challenge with the same curiosity and attention to detail that made me a great teacher. Now I'm bringing that passion to building products that make a difference, and helping teams grow stronger in the process.
