Welcome to my portfolio. I enjoy software engineering mostly in backend, but I do full-stack — my interests are machine/deep learning, artificial intelligence, and networking. I also love to play games. Browse my Projects to see what I've shipped, or check my Experience for my resume.

About

// About this developer

I'm from Charlotte, North Carolina. Analyzing problems and building solutions is what makes me tick. Outside of code, I like getting exercise, being outdoors, and cycling. I love playing video games — my favorite of all time is Minecraft — and I love working on side projects for anything I find interesting.
