Software Engineer·Austin, TX

Founder mindset in 0→1 environments—owning problems end-to-end and turning ideas into reliable products.

Summary

Wanderer at heart · builder by trade

I'm a curious wanderer at heart and a builder by trade—a software engineer who lives for road trips, bold ideas, and end-to-end systems that move the needle. Whether I'm shaping architecture across platforms or rolling up my sleeves on a gnarly bug, I bring real ownership, a creative streak, and a bias for action. I thrive where curiosity meets craft, and where the bar for reliability and user experience stays high.

My journey so far has been a patchwork of hands-on wins—shipping features, closing the loop on issues, and helping shape dependable products where purpose and human-centered design go hand in hand. Outside the code, I'm drawn to social causes and community work, because technology at its best doesn't just connect systems—it brings people together and leaves room for impact beyond the roadmap.
