I currently work at Workday, an enterprise software company. I work on Workday Extend, developing web applications which allow users to customize Workday's core product.

I previously worked at Garmin AT, developing retrofit avionics for general aviation aircraft.

I also work several projects in my spare time, and I'm big into home servers and self-hosting.

I'm an avid runner and cyclist. I've recently fallen in love with gravel biking. I also fly small planes; I earned my commercial pilot certificate in 2021. I'm hoping to become a flight instructor next.

I'm also an avid photographer, especially when I'm traveling. All the photos on this site are my own.
