Experienced Software Engineer with a lifelong passion for technology—I got my start writing custom Lua Scripts to use in Roblox and building layouts for friends in Myspace.

Writing readable, testable, and scalable code using modern tooling and libraries is the default for me, Passionate about using AI to automate repetitive tasks, save time and resources, and increase company revenue.
