The Day Job

Senior Software Developer at ThreatConnect, where I've spent nearly a decade building threat intelligence platforms used by enterprise security teams and government agencies worldwide.

What started as Java enterprise work has evolved into Python-first development. I architect APIs, build data pipelines, and create tools that help security analysts work smarter.

Side Projects

My current obsession is mobile game development with React Native. There's something deeply satisfying about the intersection of game design, performance optimization, and user experience.

I've shipped idle games, trivia apps, and various web experiments. Most of my side projects start as "I wonder if I could..." and end up teaching me something new.

Beyond Code

When I'm not staring at code, you'll find me lost in a Brandon Sanderson novel (working through the Cosmere is a multi-year project), hiking trails in the Appalachian mountains, or throwing combinations at the boxing gym.
