I am a software engineer and father of five living in North Georgia. I am an enthusiastic learner and have an aptitude for learning new skills and concepts quickly and thoroughly. I find a lot of joy in teaching and mentoring other developers with what I've learned. Music has always been one of my biggest passions, and after starting at Baylor as a music major I discovered that I could apply many of the same creative impulses to solving problems by building software. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in computer science and went on to obtain a Master's degree in the same at Georgia Tech. I've always felt it is important to maintain my skills across the full stack of the products I'm helping to build and have the ability to build and understand the technologies involved end-to-end, from the database or smart contract layer all the way to the frontend. A software engineer has a variety of tools available to solve problems, and the languages or technologies best suited to solve any particular problem do not always divide cleanly into "frontend" or "backend" concerns. Technologies I'm comfortable with: Go, Ruby / Rails, JavaScript / Typescript, Solidity / EVM, React / React Native, GraphQL, SQL, Docker, Rust, Elixir / Phoenix, Elm, Clojure
