About Me

Hello! I'm a full-stack software engineer with over 8 years of experience creating secure applications for cloud, desktop, and mobile platforms.

Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work on and lead some truly impactful projects. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I helped create solutions to support big players in the entertainment industry such as Sony and Netflix stay safe. I'm also proud to have built a highly scalable, FDA-approved system that aids in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.

What I love most about programming is tackling complex problems. Give me an intriguing challenge, and I'll happily spend hours working to solve it. This passion has led to many of my side projects, which you can explore on my GitHub.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me playing the latest soulsborne game, watching in-depth video essays on niche topics, running or biking around my neighborhood, producing music, or any of the countless hobbies I've picked up along the years.

Projects
Example

Media Organizer + Streamer

Tag based organization with ability to stream media across a network to any modern browser. Uses FFMPEG to transcode videos into an HLS segmented format to stream and encode asynchronously.
Example

Gameloggr

Webapp to track your video game backlog. Serverless API developed using dotnet deployed to AWS Lambda. Data stored in a Postgres database.
Example

NoiseBean

Personal Discord bot powered by JDA, Spring Boot, and Spring Data JPA. It can play music from YouTube or act as a soundboard with uploaded files. It also can run private polls and keep track of game play times to collect statistics that players can later view.
Example

Animal Crossing Critters

Help keep track and fill out your Animal Crossing New Horizons Critterpedia by using this tracker to see which critters you have captured and see when each critter is available.
Example

SuperNova: Escape!

Tap to escape the trailing super nova in this endless arcade classic! Carefully avoid the asteroids floating in space without slowing down... Tap too slowly and the super nova will surly catch up!
Example

Incrediball

Incrediball is the most incredible endless rolling ball experience. Steer the ball left and right on randomly generated paths to show your friends that you are truly incrediball.
Example

Checkers Minimax

A full implementation in the Dotnet framework of a playable checkers game against a computer opponent. The artificial intelligence uses the Minimax algorithm to strategize and determine optimal moves based on genetically determined heuristics.
Example

Win32ApiHelper

This library was created to assist me in some of my other projects where I required the use of windows specific API functions. The main function of this library is the concept of impersonation and launching processes from a windows service.
