👋 About

Senior software engineer with 6+ years building software across web, mobile, desktop, and games. I care about clean object-oriented design, pragmatic architecture, and shipping things that actually work.

My background mainly spans JavaScript, Node.js, and C#/.NET. On the side I've dabbled in game programming with Unity and Godot, and explored Rust as a hobby.
