More About Me
I'm passionate about blending creativity with technology. After many years in the Music Industry, I am now applying this passion to software development. I enjoy putting my impeccable attention to detail, tenacious work ethic, and diverse problem solving skills to work developing web software to solve business problems and create useful new tools. I love solving problems and helping others and I get excited when it involves learning new things.
Hello!
I am a Software Engineer always crafting how I interact with electronics. I love finding ways to squeeze the full potential out of a computer, smartphone or home theater. I'm a big Android fan and every new Android phone or tablet I buy gets rooted and setup with a custom Rom to maximize my options. I've become the guy my coworkers and friends turn to for help with tech, whether I know how or not. I quickly learned how to leverage Google for solutions and every challenge turned into a fun rabbit hole of learning and new skills. While pondering the next steps in my career, software development was a clear choice as it mirrors my drive for continuous learning and it allows me to continue to craft electronic experiences. I decided to join the Nashville Software School to learn alongside a supportive community. I’ve been challenged every day and have loved the collaborative environment.
The music recording industry initially drew me to Nashville. Working my way up from studio intern to freelance audio engineer instilled a great work ethic, perseverance, and attention to detail. Working with countless production teams allowed me to hone my teamwork skills and adapt to different environments to meet challenging deadlines. Being in the industry while it began embracing computers and digital storage further ingrained my deep love of technology and lifelong learning. I find the amount of crossover between the recording industry and software development amazing, from breaking down projects into small blocks, team communication, problem solving and channeling creativity through electronics.
When I’m not coding I love to mountain bike, discover new craft beer, make coffee and espresso and spend time with my family.
