Developing solutions to real-world problems with software
About Me
I’m a Software Engineer and U.S. Army veteran passionate about developing software that solves real-world problems. My experience in both the military and tech world taught me the value of precision, reliability, and teamwork—qualities I bring into every project I work on.
I’ve worked at Amazon Web Services (AWS) on the RDS service, where I built and deployed scalable microservice infrastructure supporting customers across 13+ regions.
I’m especially drawn to the defense and aerospace fields, where technology plays a vital role in advancing innovation and national security. Whether it’s designing resilient backend systems or exploring new ways to leverage cloud and data solutions, I’m motivated by the challenge of creating software that drives meaningful impact.
