Software Developer - C++/Javascript
MyPicture
Summary
I’m a software developer with nearly a decade of experience building things that run fast, feel good, and solve real problems. My core work sits at the intersection of C++, JavaScript, and cross-platform frameworks like React Native, Cordova, and Capacitor.

Recently, I've been focusing on React Native and believe it's got a bright future. I've played with a wide breadth of technologies over the years from Node and Python services to game engines like Unity, Godot, and Unreal. That range taught me to learn quickly, adapt fast, and keep my curiosity sharp. At the end of the day, I just like building.

Whether it’s a user-facing app or a system under the hood, I care about writing code that’s thoughtful, maintainable, and actually enjoyable to use.
