Hey! Welcome to my personal site. My intention in building this page is to give recruiters/clients a place to view my credentials, as well as see some more in-depth details of different projects I've worked on and the impact they've had.
I'm currently a Software Engineer for a companny called Pattern, where I work on the data acquisition team, doing a lot of data engineering related projects. I've found a love for working with data, especially when
it involves exploring and leveraging new technologies.
Apart from my work as a software engineer, I also do some freelance work on the side, mostly in the website development space (but would be open to other areas as well). I'm always looking for new opportunities, so if you have a project you think I'd be a good fit for, please reach out!
When I'm not coding away, I'm spending time with my wife and daughter, playing sports, reading, or doing DIY projects at home.
