## About

### Building software that scales, and delights users.

Full-stack engineer working across real-time systems, integrations, cloud infra, and UI. I care about production debugging, query tuning, and polish in equal measure.

I believe the best work happens through collaboration—sharing knowledge, lifting people up, and shipping software that solves real problems. Off the keyboard, I help run the Deschutes Tech Guild here in Central Oregon.
