About

🎧💻🖱️ Senior Software Engineer previously lived in AUS, DFW, PDX, and LAX. I am into dogs, politics, and tennis. I love to play tennis on the weekends. I like to build community, and connect with other like-minded people. I've put together a 1 billion dollar startup, with limited help from scratch and built: servers, routers, switches, cabling, conference rooms. I've also helped with off-site colocations in multiple buisnesses. I currently am a Python coder, and have learned c++. I have imposter syndrome I am highly skilled and trained to do my job.
