I work in Agile teams to design, develop, deliver, and support production software solutions in a variety of technical ecosystems. My experience is a bit unique, owning the entire vertical of product creation including accessible user interface design, frontend web applications development, architecting backend APIs, managing cloud resources, and ensuring consistency and stability of data.

In addition to my daily work as a Managing Consultant for Excella’s customers, I have a passion for helping others grow and develop their skills. Currently, I supervise a handful of employees, lead the .NET capability practice area, assist with technical interviews and new hire onboarding, and have a role in discussing and approving requests for professional development expenses. In the past I've co-taught a Computer Science course, CS494: Modern Agile Software Development, at Purdue University Fort Wayne, helped manage an academy that took cohorts of teams through the agile development lifecycle and worked to instill best practices such as Agile, TDD, Pair Programming, Full Stack Development, Security, ADA compliance, and UI/UX design, and mentored college students through code katas and technical oversight for senior design projects.

As for my personal interests, you can't separate me from my love of God and the church, you will often find me spending time with the people I care about. I find great delight in cooking, volleyball, coffee, books, travel, personal finance / investing, movies, games, and nature. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out and say hi!
