I'm a software engineer with several years of experience, and I enjoy building engineering systems from idea to implementation. I spend a lot of time around problem solving, automation, data processing, computer vision, databases, and cloud services. I like taking vague ideas or small frustrations and turning them into something that works. Side projects are a big part of how I learn. I use them to try ideas, explore new areas, and build tools that I would actually use myself. I care about writing code that is easy to read, test, review, and maintain. I also enjoy the quiet parts of software work: improving workflows, making things more stable, and leaving projects a little cleaner than I found them.
