Where structure meets usability.
Selected work focused on structure, systems, and usable solutions.
My Computer Science capstone was a web app that lets users create trips and collaborate with other users. They can plan travel across a date range, manage trip members, and organize itinerary items such as: flights, lodging, car rentals, and activities. Users can sign up with a standard email/password account or authenticate through Google OAuth.
Cube Conquest is a Unity-based 3D strategy game focused on territory control, turn-based decision-making, and AI-driven opponents. The project emphasizes an object-oriented design, modular systems, and scalable gameplay logic. It was developed as a personal engineering-focused game project to explore interactive systems, maintainable Unity architecture, and real-time game logic.
Software engineer with a background in military program management and full-stack development. Experienced in building collaborative web applications and interactive 3D games using modern frameworks and structured API design.

I'm an early-career software engineer seeking work while bolstering my portfolio. I'm also a husband and stay-at-home dad to my 2 kids and 3 fosters. I enjoy many types of board games and socializing with friends.
Throughout my 21 years in the military, I developed a firm approach to teamwork and responsibility. I led teams, managed critical projects, and made decisions when direction wasn't clear. Just as importantly, I learned how to listen and grow. I value feedback, stay open to coaching, and support the mission from any position.
I understand that trust isn't inherent, it's earned. I build it through consistency and thoughtful communication. Whether I'm leading an effort or contributing as part of the team, I maintain my focus: improve, add value, and help the group succeed.
I began my journey into development near the tail-end of my military career when I overhauled an Access Database, greatly expanding it's features, capabilities, security, and user base. This truly sparked my interest so, while moving toward retirement, I pursued my B.S. in Computer Science, which I recently completed! I love coding and I have a wide interest in various fields, including, full-stack app and game development. At this point in time, I am further strengthening my development skills, completing bootcamps and working toward certificates.
Cool stuff I've always been a fan of games--console, computer, backyard, board, card, sports.. you name it, I like to play it. Lately, I've been getting in to adventure/strategy-style board games, like: Carcassonne, Catan, Castle Panic, and Blokus. However, since I was about 12 years old, I've loved playing adventure and strategy computer games. I'll be the first to admit that I was on the WOW bandwagon for a long time, but I've also played StarCraft, Rift, Minecraft, and many more. I am really interested in creating my own games, but so far, I've only had enough time to create my partially-built strategy game, Cube Conquest (see it in my Portfolio).
