ABOUT
I'm a dev who enjoys building things.
Whether it be applications, VR, games, visualizations, or some other cool project, I
enjoy the craft and process of development. Development sometimes requires a unique combination of both
technicality and creativity; it truly thrives when you have both.
With my technical skills and strong work ethic, I can be a valuable contributer to any
project.
