As a Senior Software Engineer at Kion, I use my engineering skills to help organizations move faster and further in the Cloud.

My Computer Science degree combined with 7+ years of working experience has allowed me to develop a rich problem solving skillset. I've worked with a variety of front-end and back-end frameworks, cloud providers, and database technologies. I particularly enjoy working with TypeScript (Angular especially), .NET, and GoLang.

I bring my passion to the teams I work with and have excelled at mentoring other engineers as well as encompassing other leadership responsibilities. While I have particularly deep experience and interest in finance, I've also had several work experiences in the health sector.
