I hold a BS in Computer Science from Oregon State University and a BS in Chemistry from Northern Arizona University. I've worked across Python backends and React frontends, led a QA team, built PHP web apps, and upgraded React Native mobile apps — currently running my own software business while up-skilling in AI, cybersecurity, and cloud engineering.
I hold ISC2 CC and Google Cybersecurity certifications and rank in the top 7% globally on TryHackMe. I believe software should be durable, honest, and quietly excellent.
