I'm a software engineer based in Colorado with over 15 years of experience building software across a wide range of technologies and domains. My career has taken me from .NET and Windows automation, through mobile development and agile consulting, into developer tooling, observability, and full-stack product development.
I care deeply about developer experience, test-driven development, and building tools that make other engineers more productive. I've presented at conferences including CodeMash and Columbus ATDD about automation and testing practices.
