About Me

For the past seven years I've worked at USAA building applications ranging from auto insurance webpages to internal infrastructure used by dozens of teams.

While I began my career as a front end developer, I'm comfortable working throughout the stack and have successfully led large migrations of infrastructure to the cloud.
