Hello and welcome!
I’m a principal software engineer, focused specifically on web development and engineering leadership.
Based in San Diego, I’m currently the VP of Web Engineering at Fingerpaint and formerly the Director of Web Development at Traina and Manager of Experience Design at Jack in the Box.
I have an A.E. in Software Engineering from Oregon Tech and a B.S. in Web Design & Development from AiCASD.
Beyond development, I love design, art, leadership, teaching, making, learning and problem solving. When I get a free moment I love to create generative art as well as explore robust-first computation and artificial living-systems via my MFM.rocks project.
