About

I'm currently a senior software engineer at Aeroflow Health, where I'm building scheduling and education platforms that help patients get the support they need through insurance.

I started learning to code in high school by writing scripts to farm XP and coins in the video games I was playing. That curiosity brought me to NC State, where I earned a degree in computer science. Since graduating, I've been deep in the web ecosystem, building tools and products that make everyday processes easier.

With the rise of AI tooling, I'm building more than ever. It's been awesome to see how quickly things are changing, and I'm excited to keep exploring and building.
