About

With my unique background in video production, I have developed a high level of proficiency in a wide assortment of software and hardware. I am a generalist with a passion for software development. I enjoy continually learning and building my skills within all aspects of technology with the goal of finding innovative ways to overcome challenges.

My passion for tech has immersed me in a "generalist" career path. Over the last decade I've worked for a tech-focused podcast network in Petaluma known as This Week in Tech (TWiT), where I was technical director for "The New ScreenSavers" along with producing & editing multiple tech oriented shows, but also hosted a "do it yourself" show called Know How where we built everything from quadcopters, setting up a home router, GameBoy modding, creating your own raspberry pi arcade system, 3D printing, and more. I also traveled for trade events such as BlackHat, DefCon, CES, and IFA Berlin.

Utilizing my skills in media and tech I moved into conducting large-scale event operations for Facebook & now currently at Google. Being immersed in the everyday work of "Big Tech" companies sparked my interest in deep-diving how impactful computer science can be.

I graduated from Thinkful's Full Stack Bootcamp with the pursuit to work full time as a software developer.

This was my first project utilizing React. The Pomodoro technique is a time-management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a Pomodoro, from the Italian word for tomato, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student.
