I am a driven, outcome-oriented software engineer who prioritizes strong architecture and design across all my projects. Outside of my work, I'm a person who loves video games, music, sports, cooking, and travel. I love exploring the world around me and learning more about it!

Some of my favorite projects over the years have combined a handful of my passions, such as my college capstone project, Keyboard Hero. I had a blast designing and implementing the game you see today, and there is a ton of potential still yet to be discovered with the game itself and the music/rhythm genre of games in general.

Finally, keep an eye on B3yond Labs for future projects and product releases. I have some entrepeneurial projects in the works that will redefine what technology can provide for developers and businesses alike. I will also be releasing games under the B3yond umbrella going forward, so be sure to stay tuned.

Currently, I am a full-stack software engineer at Olo, where I am helping build and shape the future of the restaurant industry in our digital world. My current and prior work experience can be seen in more detail here on my resume.

Professionally, I have spent most of my time working in .NET, using C# for back end and React on the front end. However, I am always looking to learn new languages, frameworks and more to keep up with the times. Currently, this has led me to Go and Rust. I look forward to using these more and more going forward and distancing myself from the Microsoft ecosystem.

I am passionate about AWS infrastructure and utilize it wherever it makes sense in my projects. I have strong experience using API Gateway, Lambda, SQS, SNS, and many other AWS services and plan to continue learning and growing my expertise.

For databases, I have used SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL most frequently for relational databases in combination with a variety of ORM libraries. In addition, I have experience with Redis, Mongo/DocumentDB, ElasticSearch and Redshift.

Most of the time, I have used frameworks based on create-react-app for React development, though I have tinkered with others like Next.js as well in my spare time. Finally, I spend a fair amount of time writing games in Unity and Unreal Engine whenever possible in pursuit of side passion projects. Take a look at some of my repos for more info!
