I hold a BS in Computer Science from Oregon State University and a BS in Chemistry from Northern Arizona University — a combination that shaped how I think about systems, patterns, and the layers between the abstract and the physical.
As a Full Stack Engineer at Atlantic Venture Partners, I worked across Python backends and React frontends while leading a small QA and test automation team. Before that, I built PHP web apps at Ping! Development, upgraded React Native mobile apps at BG Products, and assembled ruggedized computer systems at C.P. Technologies.
I'm currently running Steel Scribe LLC, my own software business, while caring full-time for my two young daughters. I spend my limited free hours up-skilling in AI, cybersecurity, and cloud engineering — recently earning two certifications and reaching the top 7% globally on TryHackMe.
I believe software should be durable, honest, and quietly excellent — technology in service of people, not the other way around.
