About

Full-stack engineer focused on practical, reliable systems

Professional

I'm a full-stack software engineer with a strong backend focus, experienced in building and maintaining production systems across multiple stacks and industries, including aerospace and insurance. I enjoy solving real-world problems and developing software that is reliable, scalable, and easy to maintain.

My work spans Python, Ruby on Rails, and Golang, where I've built backend services, contributed to full-stack applications, and helped evolve systems from legacy implementations to modern, well-tested architectures. I've also focused on improving performance and observability through logging and system optimization.

I care about clean code, strong testing practices, and continuous learning. I enjoy collaborating with teams and building systems that other engineers can easily understand, extend, and trust in production.

Personal

Outside of software, I enjoy staying active with my dog and spending time outdoors; especially climbing, camping, fishing, and hiking. I enjoy getting away from screens, exploring new places, and pushing myself both physically and mentally.

I see myself as a lifelong learner and believe that continuous growth is key to a fulfilling life. Whether it's picking up new skills, reading, or refining what I already know, I enjoy the process of improving and building over time.

In my free time, I also enjoy gaming (both video and board), spending time with friends, creative writing, and learning photography.

Projects

Featured Projects

A selection of projects that highlight my experience building practical applications, exploring new technologies, and continuously improving as a full-stack engineer.

Project Overview

BodiMetrix

A full-stack Rails application for tracking check-ins, body measurements, progress photos, and long-term fitness trends.

Problem

I wanted to build a practical application that helps users track progress in one place instead of relying on scattered notes, spreadsheets, or disconnected photo history.

What I built

Built the application end to end with nested resources, progress photo support, measurement reporting, and a clean interface for reviewing historical check-in data over time. I also focused on maintainability by structuring the application clearly and supporting it with automated testing.

Project Overview

Portfolio App

A responsive portfolio application built with Next.js to showcase projects, experience, and continued growth as a full-stack engineer.

Problem

I wanted a professional portfolio that presents my work clearly across desktop and mobile while also giving me hands-on experience building with Next.js and modern frontend patterns.

What I built

Designed and built the site with reusable sections, responsive layouts, a mobile navigation menu, and structured project case studies that make the portfolio easier to scan and maintain.
