I'm a software engineer, mentor, foodie, snowboarder, and perpetual bug squasher with a passion for crafting reliable, thoughtful solutions.
I love exploring how things work, by building new systems or taking existing ones apart. I'm driven by challenging problems, continuous learning, and pushing myself to think in new ways.
When I'm not writing code, you'll usually find me on a snowboard, tinkering with my homelab and electronics, playing soccer, or trying to cook something tasty.
