I build things that work in the dark.

01 — Who I Am

About Me

Phoenix-based software engineer who has shipped production code at every scale: from calibrating autonomous vehicle sensors at Cruise, to running a multiplayer gaming server for 700+ players, to architecting startup frontends from scratch. I thrive in the dark corners of complex systems, finding elegant solutions where others find chaos.

"From autonomous vehicles to living game worlds — I love to build cool sh*t projects."
