I am a curious, solution-oriented, software developer with a passion for building clean, maintainable, and human-centered applications. After studying Computer Science at the University of Georgia, I joined Griffin & Strong where I engineered data analysis pipelines for four governments. I currently work at Guidehouse where I support a variety of agile consulting teams through development of interactive dashboards, data models, ETL pipelines, and automated workflows. I am eager to contribute to a team where I can leverage my data engineering and consulting experience to support full stack development.
