About Me

I'm a senior software engineer working on back-end and full-stack web applications.

I’ve been coding for fun and profit since the days of Geocities homepages—practically forever. I’m comfortable with established web standards as well as many cutting-edge technologies, and I’m constantly learning more.

I work remotely from Philadelphia, and I'm open to new roles, side projects, and freelance work. Get in touch!
