Before I wrote code, I spent four and a half years as a CAD drafter, turning rough concepts into precise 3D designs and finding ways to make the work faster and cheaper. That habit of asking "how could this be simpler?" is what pulled me into software.
I completed Springboard's Software Engineering program in 2024 and have kept building since. A lot of my projects come from travel, because planning trips is where I kept running into problems worth solving.
Away from the keyboard, I'm a dad and a family caregiver. Both remind me that the best tools are the ones that quietly make life easier for the people using them.
