01 / About

Software that quietly removes friction

I'm a software engineer with a B.S. in Informatics from Trine University. My work lives where code meets the day-to-day operations of a business: full-stack .NET applications, the SQL databases behind them, and the reporting and APIs that turn raw data into something people can actually act on.

Across insurance, sales, and manufacturing, I've built custom internal tools that automate and optimize the way teams work — designing the data models, reporting, and integrations behind them, and owning the full picture from gathering requirements to shipping and support. I care most about software that makes someone's workday faster and more reliable without them having to think about it.
