I'm a software developer focused on backend systems, developer tooling, and automation. I work primarily in Go, Python, and SQL, building APIs, CLI tools, integrations, and data workflows.

My background includes computer science and information technology degrees from the U.S. Naval Academy, six years as a Navy officer in technical and cyber operations, and four years leading business operations before transitioning into software full time.

I'm particularly interested in backend engineering, developer productivity, infrastructure, and practical automation.

• Catalyst for Boot.dev - an unofficial Chrome/Brave extension used by Boot.dev learners. I maintain integrations with Boot.dev APIs and site behavior, ship workflow and progress-tracking features, and respond to user-reported bugs and feature requests.

• nextgame - a Python CLI for choosing a board game from a local collection based on player count, available time, and preferences. Built with SQLite, schema migrations, argparse, and pytest using only the Python standard library.

I also build private developer and workflow-automation tools that integrate with external APIs and authenticated systems.

I continue to work through backend and infrastructure-focused material on Boot.dev and regularly help other learners debug code and reason through programming concepts.
