I'm a staff software engineer working at Federato. I love all things frontend whether that's building stunning UI components, improving accessibility and user experience, or fine-tuning the frontend build system. Developer experience is another huge passion of mine as I like to empower myself and other engineers to build excellent solutions with less friction. TypeScript, React, CSS, and Go are where you'll find me the happiest, and a little Rust sprinkled here and there doesn't hurt.
Outside of work, I'm a Wisconsin native who loves small-town life almost as much as I like snow and winter. In my free time, I like working on my house, spending time with family and friends, and playing disc golf. My life is dedicated to the service of Jesus and sharing the good news of the gospel to the ends of the earth. My hope is for men and women to find in Jesus the only true hope for this life, and the life to come.
While I am a software engineer and a total nerd, I'm a huge extrovert and love spending time with people. If you ever want to debate the usefulness of college education for professions like computer science, I will gladly oblige as I am a self-taught developer who found very little practical value in college behind getting that slip of paper they call a diploma.
