Improving Developer Experiences and Tooling in Go | He/Him

I am currently a Software Engineer at Qualtrics working on the Developer Experience team. (NOTE: This is a personal blog, and does not reflect the opinions of my employer.) My personal mission is to improve development experiences and productivity across all of Qualtrics and ultimately for software engineers everywhere. Prior to Qualtrics, I worked as a Software Security Engineer at Sandia National Laboratories. I was focused on building applications and system integrations to support cyber resiliency R&D, experimentation, and execution. I have a Master's degree in Information Security (MSIS) from Carnegie Mellon University, with an emphasis in system-level code security, reverse engineering, and exploitation. I also have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Southern Utah University. But beyond my degrees, I have always had a deep thirst for knowledge, to which I attribute the lion’s share of my most valuable experiences. I'm also more than just my profession. I am married to a strong, amazing woman and we have two beautiful girls. My other interests and hobbies include; Running and playing various Tabletop RPGs (TTRPGs), Dabbling in Indie Game Development, and Mountain Biking.
