Summary

I'm an analytical but creative software engineer with a love for applying tech against interesting domains and problems. I have a knack for taking tough concepts and presenting them in a way that's easy to understand - if analogies are your thing I think you'll find that I have the perfect one for any situation. My work is backed with results, I have been tutoring a friend of mine for a year or two, and he was able to use the knowledge I taught him to transition from Application Specialist (non-coding role) to a Software Engineer at his company!

Please see my personal portfolio site and Github for video game mod related projects, and other assorted coding endeavors!
