About

I'm a software engineer finishing a computer science degree at Purdue. The backend is the part I actually care about: the data model, the queue, the retry that fires at 3am. I like problems that take a week to hold in your head. At CCC I built a tool that reads production logs and opens the pull request itself. I've shipped a pet boarding platform that carries a real client's bookings, and a prayer-habit app that lives on both stores. The work I'm proudest of is tracing a failure down to the layer where it really broke.
