I’m obsessive about developer tooling, APIs, and libraries, especially where ecosystems get messy and opinions collide. Past experiences give me a deep appreciation for practical solutions over perfect ones. I’m rarely short on curiosity or energy for the next challenge and thrive in kitchen-sink roles where systems, tools, and people intersect.

I’m currently a Principal Program Manager at Microsoft, working on SQL developer tools and database DevOps experiences. Throughout my career I’ve led IT for a small business, taught college courses, and worked as both a developer and researcher. I completed a MS in chemistry (2011, University of Minnesota) and a MS in computer science (2022, Georgia Tech).
