Hello! Welcome to my site. I took a page from 1996, back when websites were fast, simple, and didn't require a PhD in Node. Just plain ol' vanilla JS, HTML, and CSS.

Stick around! Worst case, you learn something about me.

How'd I get here?

I graduated summa cum laude from The University of Georgia with a degree in Computer Science (I am able to write SQL queries that don't take down production... so far).

I'm currently a Software Engineer @ McKesson, working on neat healthcare solutions for the 340B Program. Previously, I was a Consultant @ Deloitte, where I collaborated with top banking executives across large institutions, de-novo banks, and fintechs focused on disruptive innovation. During that time, I developed deep expertise in building & integrating unprecedented banking products on next-gen cores (namely Finxact, Thought Machine, and Pismo).

What's on the wall?

AI-102 — Azure AI Engineer Associate

AZ-900 — Azure Fundamentals

Thought Machine Vault Fundamentals

What floats my boat?

Outside of code, I'm a commercial aviation nerd. I built a small 737 simulator rig at home, where I run MSFS 2024 and work my way towards becoming a pilot. Yes, it has working switches. No, I haven't tried flying it on VATSIM… yet. I'm one of the few people you'll meet that's happy to be stuck at the airport.

I also dabble in ultimate frisbee and running, though my pace is best described as 'motivated sloth'.

Linked below is my GitHub. There was a time when I had enough caffeine to spin up side projects. Along with my friends who are equally allergic to sleep, we've won hackathons and awards for our projects. I'm really proud of what we've built.
