About Me
I'm a full stack web developer with a passion for frontend work. With 5 years of development experience, I've spent the last 4 years specializing in Design Systems, React, TypeScript, and Web Components. My expertise in component architecture and modern web technologies is complemented by my adaptability and enthusiasm for learning. I thrive in dynamic environments and have a proven track record of quickly mastering new technologies to deliver exceptional solutions.
My main hobbies are playing with my daughter, exasperating my wife, playing video games, and reading fantasy novels. I love growing things and have recently gotten into gardening, but still can't get a bell pepper to grow. I hate sprinklers. I currently live in American Fork, Utah.
Current Status: Monster Hunter Wilds & The Wheel of Time
