About Me

I'm a software engineer with a passion for building scalable solutions to complex problems. I specialize in frontend development with expertise in Angular, React, TypeScript, and Node.js.

Although my focus is on frontend development, I have experience working across many aspects of development including backend, CI/CD, and mobile development. I love being faced with new challenges and expanding my knowledge and skill set.

Outside of work you can find me at the gym, playing video games, or finding new places to eat! I'm currently living in Michigan near Detroit (Go Lions!).
