The Professional Side
I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer with over four years of experience developing software-centric solutions for the U.S. Army. My background is rooted in 20 years of military service, including 15 years in IT and telecommunications, which has instilled in me a disciplined, security-first mindset.
I specialize in building applications using Test Driven Development (TDD) within balanced teams, employing lean and agile practices to ensure efficient, high-quality delivery. My expertise covers the full development lifecycle—from scoping and discovery to DevSecOps and CI/CD implementation.
- Core Tech: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Java, Python, PHP, C++, and SQL.
- Tooling: Docker, Gradle, Make, and Git.
The Personal Side
When I step away from the keyboard, I’m usually spending time with my wife, our two kids, and our rather large petting zoo: three dogs (Gronkowski, Beatrice, and Minnie) and an ancient cat named Frankie.
I’m also a huge Houston Texans fan and a passionate home cook—I love experimenting with my sous-vide and pressure cooker to perfect a prime rib or pot roast.
To unwind, I enjoy a glass of Angel’s Envy bourbon and diving into video games. While I enjoy the Battlefield and Fallout franchises, I have a particular love for Real-Time Strategy games, especially titles from Eugen Systems like Warno and Wargame.
