Building cool technology from raw sockets to radar simulations.

About Me

Background
A California native raised in Nevada, I began my career as a U.S. Navy Cryptologic Technician Networks (CTN) — now designated Cyber Warfare Technician (CWT). That foundation in military cybersecurity and networking continues to inform my work as a software developer, currently based in Maryland.
Mission
I pursue deliberate, focused growth across disciplines I find technically meaningful — building practical software that solves real problems for real people.
Approach
I prioritize usability, intentional design, and technical rigor in everything I build — with a long-term focus on contributing to technology that is both impactful and enduring.
Let's Connect
I welcome opportunities to collaborate, consult, or simply exchange ideas. If you have a project or initiative you'd like to discuss, reach out.
