About

I like putting stuff together, whether it be software, 3D prints, furniture, or D&D one-shots. I've spent most of my professional career working on web applications using various flavors of JavaScript, sometimes on the client and sometimes on the server. As long as there are problems to solve or chairs to align, I can't help but get involved.
