Education

In May 2021, I graduated summa cum loude from The Ohio State University with a B.S. in Computational Data Analytics. Additionally, I completed extensive coursework on software engineering, algorithms, and design patterns.

Work Experience

In August of 2020, I joined the Comcast Cybersecurity team as a Security Developer Contractor. This role allowed me to work in a fast-paced and technologically advanced team and learn many industry leading technologies. I quickly became hired full time and have been promoted to a Senior Software Engineer where I lead project development on our next-gen platform.

I have gained extensive experience and expertise working with and deploying to Kubernetes and AWS using Terraform and various AWS SDKs. I have worked extensively with automated CI/CD tools such as Concourse and Github actions for automated testing and deployments. I have developed APIs, tools, and plugins using Golang, Rust, Clojure, and Python among other programming languages and I am flexible in choosing the right tool for the job.

Programming

Computer science is both my profession and my passion. I believe that listening to experts in the field and keeping current with the evolving landscape helps to keep my skills sharp and add as many tools to my software engineering toolbelt as possible.

In a time when LLMs are chipping away at the average developer's ability to problem solve on their own, I strive to learn the technologies I work with extensively to keep the quality of software high and bring skepticism to generated code. LLMs can be a powerful tool, but they require a deep understanding of the problem at hand to ask the right questions and get the best answers.

I also have a particular passion for functional programming and enjoy working with languages such as Elixir, Elm, Haskell, Clojure, and bring functional concepts to my day-to-day work.
