SUMMARY
I’ve been doing web development ever since I learned to tweak HTML for my Myspace profile back in the day. That early curiosity grew into a full-blown career, and I’ve been fortunate to work in a wide range of roles since then. From radio to gaming to real estate, I’ve had the chance to be a full-stack, 'Jack of all trades' developer, tackling unique challenges in each industry. My focus is Python & Javascript.
When I’m not coding, I’m likely toying with synthesizers, watching horror movies, and hanging out with my two cats. I live in the beautiful northwoods of Wisconsin.
