About Me

I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer living in the Metro Detroit area, and I've been working mostly with Microsoft products for the last 9 years. I do my best to take courses and read articles on a regular basis to expose myself to updates in technology and some cross training in other areas of professional interest. This most recent incarnation of my website is the result of taking some courses on ASP.Net Core 3.1 and wanting to use it in a live environment. I use this site as a test bed for trying out new technology, and to provide some demos since most of the work I've done in my career is not accessible to the public.

I'm currently seeking a remote development position that can allow me to have a more flexible work/life balance. If you think my skills would be an asset to your team you can reach out to me via my contact form! Thanks for visiting!
