About
Throughout my career, I've strived to empower the teams I've been on to be the best they can be. As a software engineer, I do so through my enjoyment of creating processes collaboratively with my team members, and building product that leaves users feeling a sense of fulfillment. Now, I'm looking for the next steps in my journey to level up the team members, departments, and companies that I work with.
