Software engineer in Tampa. I build tools — mostly for myself, sometimes for other people.
Before software I worked in aerospace manufacturing. Precision filtration, CNC, SAP ERP, the Airbus XLR project. The kind of work where tolerances matter and mistakes cost. That instinct came with me.
B.S. in Computer Science done. M.S. finishing August. Before that, a B.A. in Political Science — useful for understanding why organizations make bad decisions about their tooling.
The work I like sits where hardware meets software — embedded, infrastructure, anything close to the metal. C when I want to know what's happening. Rust when I want it fast. Python when I need it by tomorrow.
I also write and produce music. Classical guitar, drums when I make time, and a small stack of Behringer boxes — RD-6, TD-3, a Korg SQ-64 sequencer, and a Eurorack mixer. Ableton for the DAW. Most of my sounds I build myself. Warp Records raised me — Autechre, Aphex, Squarepusher, Boards of Canada — though the actual listening spans wider than that suggests.
The aesthetic of this site is part of that same sensibility. Somewhere between Lynch and Burroughs. Strange thing to say about a portfolio but here we are.
