Software Engineer & Educator
Charlottesville, VA
senior
I am a pianist turned software engineer, educator, and modern web advocate. Over the years, I’ve worked deeply with the most popular web and test automation frameworks (Angular, React, Vue, Lit, Cypress, and Playwright) to prototype, collaboratively build, and ship world-class applications. I’ve designed and led intensive workshops to introduce working engineers to gnarly topics like native web components and functional programming. Finally, I’ve mentored other engineers 1:1, helping them to transfer their current skillset and learn best practices through a problem-first approach.
In my free time, I am a Bible nerd, specialty coffee drinker, bodybuilder, and lover of national parks. During my post-WillowTree retreat, I've explored Zion, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce, and Arches National Parks; I am currently developing and teaching two courses on Genesis 1-25.
