03 — Background

Built from curiosity.

My last role was as Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead at DHI Group Inc. working on job boards for both Dice and ClearanceJobs. Before that, I was a software engineer at Recount Media.

I’ve worked deeply with Angular, React, and Vue. These days I’m especially drawn to Astro and the durable simplicity of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — tools that continue to make the web feel open, expressive, and alive.

Away from the screen, I’m with my brilliant wife and two amazing daughters, chasing the perfect salsa, cooking plant-based meals, sharing music, and occasionally pretending I know how to play it.

04 — Volunteering

Learning in service of others.

I’m building my data analyst skills through SQL and Python, and looking for nonprofits where I can contribute while continuing to learn.

I’d love to help teams find practical ways to automate staff workflows, navigate AI with confidence, or make sense of their data through simple analysis. As my skills deepen, I’m excited to grow into more involved data analysis work alongside the organizations I support.

Let’s connect

Work with a nonprofit or know one that could use help with workflows, AI, or data? I’d love to connect and hopefully be of help.
