Never stop learning. Live fully; both the good and the bad have their place. I am a self-taught software engineer with a plethora of experience across a varied array of industries. I am a problem solver, implemented as a developer. I am a curious, analytical thinker that tries to look at the world through the lens of the positive. I strive to be *unapologetically authentic*, communicating transparently (Most often, superfluous in the intention of clarity) An excerpt of a poem that has stood with me since childhood: "Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here."
