About Me

Bridging Science and Software

From quantitative biosciences to full-stack development, I bring a unique analytical approach to solving complex technical challenges.

My journey began at the Colorado School of Mines, where I earned my degree in Quantitative Biosciences and Engineering with a Computer Science minor, graduating with a perfect 4.0 GPA.

While excelling academically, I also competed as a Division II varsity soccer player, earning recognition as a 2025 1st Team Academic All-American and 2022 RMAC Tournament MVP. This experience taught me the value of discipline, teamwork, and performing under pressure.

Currently, I work as a Software Engineer at Lerch Bates, where I architect and develop production-grade web applications. I specialize in modern full-stack development, combining my scientific background with cutting-edge technologies to deliver scalable, secure solutions.

My unique blend of scientific rigor and software engineering expertise allows me to approach problems analytically while building solutions that are both technically sound and user-focused.
