About me

I am an open-source software engineer with 4+ years of experience developing production applications for my current role and contributing to open-source projects and over a year experience as an open-source maintainer. I enjoy identifying issues or areas of improvement and developing solutions to address those areas.

Background Overview

My technical background began in High School where I took engineering course work through Project Lead the Way for all 4 years and eventually into college where I was first exposed to programming with a introduction class to C. A few years later in 2018, this background would help when I decided to wireframe a potential new site design for my then job.

In 2019, while working my first job out of graduate school, I noticed some processes that could be improved with automation, so I began creating some small tools to automate tasks and/or easy parts of processes at work (some of which are used to various degrees today).

These tools grew more robust until I created my main project for that role, the productcontentdesktopapp, which functions as a staging area/mini CMS for the operations team. The application itself has a few interfaces for interacting with content and an content engine that can generate content based off product attributes. I would continue to develop and maintain this project for the next four years.

Around 2020, I also began learning Rust and using it on small personal projects until I made my first open source contribution to Boa in October 2021 followed shortly by another.

Since then, I've been working on learning more Rust and helping make contributions to Boa.

Most recently, I've been working on implementing the new Temporal builtin specification for Boa.

More about me

I like hiking, games (board and video), books and movies, and programming. Always enjoy going out and enjoying nature / the world.
