Hello there!
I'm a senior at Montana State University studying Computer Science, currently working as a software engineering intern at TechLink Center @ MSU. I've had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects, ranging from personal work like the site you're (hopefully) currently enjoying, to collaborating with industry professionals on unit testing front and back-end services supporting intellectural property, Python packages, compilers, user experience and design, Chrome extensions, and a myriad of my other curiosity-driven endeavors.
I thrive in environments where I can work hard, grow, and learn alongside people who are genuinely excited about the tech world and the exciting things related to it. I find a lot of value in delivering software that's been shaped by that kind of team culture, and treasure the opportunity to be part of one.
When it comes to my intrests, I love exploring new ideas and concepts in my free time! When I'm not in the office or writing code for a passion project, there's a good bet you'll find me out in the Montana wilderness with my girlfriend fiancée wife Sara and our friends and family hiking the long trails, swimming frigid rivers, picnicking in the meadows, and soaking up everything the Rockies have to offer!
I love working with my hands and creating things that exist beyond a screen, things that capture imaginations, so when I'm not at the keyboard you'll probably find me at my 3D printer churning out everything from costumes and props inspired by my favorite fandoms to decorative displays and custom board game accessories. When the printer's backlog is running long, I'll be flexing my creative writing and storytelling muscles instead! (Nothing I'm ready to share just yet, but soon!) I've also recently caught the woodworking bug... my first bookshelf is already done, and I have a feeling it won't be the last thing I build.
Whether it's coding or woodworking, writing or hiking, 3D printing or exploring outdoors, I'm always excited to see what the next creative adventure God has around the corner for me, and even more excited about the people who are alongside me on this journey!
