About Me
Grew up an engineer-to-be city kid, moved out to a small town, ran away to a smaller town (College Station, in its own way, is both quite large and quite small), then ran even farther to the Nordic Sea, before landing back in good 'ol Austin, Texas.
After all the traveling, turns out there's a familiarity to home you just can't find anywhere else.
Harder to satisfy though is the endless curiosities of our fast paced world, driven by constant innovations and further questions. In that way, software development has proven to be a worthy outlet to exercise some of that curiosity and has become something of a passion of mine.
What started as a transitional gig (while realigning my career as an engineer from the offshore oilfield to something closer to home and family) has become a career path that I've embraced entirely and tirelessly. I skim articles from Morning Cup of Coffee before I get out of bed in the morning, listen to Real Talk Javascript as I drive to work, and browse Medium during lunch!
At the moment, I'm fully entrenched in expanding my understanding of what it takes to write good code. Feel free to check out some of the work below that I've got going at the moment, or my GitHub page as well where collaboration is more than welcome.
Some quick hitters:
- I'm a bit of a DIY kind of guy, including amatuer mechanic tinkering, my time as an apartment handyman, and as a shop machinist
- Big outdoors enthusiast, most notably climbing/mountaineering.
- Music! I've been dabbling in guitar and other various stringed instruments for most of my life
Personal Projects
Twilio for the idea, but i've flushed it out a bit more and put my own spin on it.
