About Me

I'm a detail-oriented, flexible thinker with a sense of humor. I find joy in solving puzzles and working together with people to arrive at the best possible outcome for everyone.

My journey to becoming a software engineer has taken me through being a professional musician, a teacher, and an instrument repair technician - all paths that have surprising connections to the art of writing elegant code.
