Summary
12 years ago I wrote my first few lines of code to make my Minecraft server more fun and entertaining. Now, as a Lead Developer at General Motors, I'm building full-stack enterprise applications used in a plethora of different organizations. I'm a fast learner, write clean code and thrive under pressure. I'm the team member people turn to when critical requirements need to get done. Nearly five years in, I'm looking to join a company driven by software innovation, where I can directly influence and elevate products that define the business.
