The throughline
Personal Showcase
A builder, teacher, and systems thinker.
My career has moved through education, hands-on STEM, computer science, and industrial software. The common thread is helping people understand complex systems and turning that understanding into something useful.
Before working in industrial software, I taught music and worked with students through robotics, LEGO, and Rubik's Cube activities. Teaching shaped how I approach technical work: listen first, explain clearly, and build something that the person using it can actually trust.
Computer science gave me the formal foundation to design software, work with data, and reason about systems. In manufacturing, that foundation became practical: applications have to work during production, communicate with equipment, and remain supportable after they are commissioned.
Those experiences shaped the way I approach every challenge: stay curious, communicate clearly, and make the result useful to the people who depend on it.
Outside the job title
The experiences that shaped me
Teaching & communication
Music education and STEM clubs taught me to meet people where they are, make difficult ideas approachable, and help others become confident with unfamiliar tools.
Academic & independent work
A B.S. in Computer Science and projects such as an autonomous Rubik's Cube robot and a full-stack Wordle game gave me a broad software and problem-solving foundation.
Curiosity and making
I enjoy taking ideas apart, understanding how they work, and building practical versions that others can use and learn from.
How I work
Practical, curious, and accountable.
- Start with the people and process, not just the technology
- Test changes deliberately before they reach production
- Document systems so others can support and extend them
- Teach the solution until the team can use it with confidence
