Movement Has Always Defined Me
I was born in Germany and raised in constant motion, moving across states and countries as part of a military family.
Yet despite the movement, New Orleans has always been home. A city built on music — its rhythm, culture, and community anchored me, and music became my way of creating stability.
Music carried me through adolescence and into adulthood, eventually leading me to LSU, where I studied Music and Digital Media Programming.
Over time, my instinct for structure evolved. What began in sound became systems. What began in rhythm became code.
From Studio to Systems
From Studio to Systems
At LSU, I began working in the music studio — recording, editing, arranging. I became obsessed with layers, timing, and structure.
Around the same time, I started working with JavaScript and multimedia tools like PD, Processing.js, and p5.js.
Code was expressive. Visual. Alive.
The studio taught me how to listen for patterns.
Programming taught me how to build them.
That path eventually led me to Flatiron School, where I completed the full-stack software engineering program — training in SQL, Ruby on Rails, and React.
Craft replaced curiosity.
From Student to Teacher to Engineer
After graduating from Flatiron, I stayed on to teach — first part-time, then full-time. Teaching sharpened my understanding of software design and deepened my belief that clarity and empathy matter in engineering.
I later joined G2 as a software engineer, where I spent four years building, shipping, and growing. During that time, I earned two AWS Cloud Computing certifications and was nominated for awards recognizing performance and entrepreneurial spirit.
I was also appointed co-lead of G2's DEI employee resource group — a role that reflected something I value deeply: authenticity and kindness in professional spaces.
Growth, to me, has always meant lifting others as you climb.
And Still Climbing
And Still Climbing
Those closest to me would describe me as adventurous, determined, kind, and deeply family-oriented.
I'm a husband and a father of four.
Over the past six years in Colorado, we've embraced the outdoors together. Hiking, exploring, climbing.
Through all of it, I've never stopped making music. And during these years, I've climbed mountains I once thought were beyond my reach — professionally, creatively, and personally.
A New Chapter
Transitions can be intimidating.
They're also clarifying.
I'm seeking my next professional peak — an opportunity to keep growing as a developer, husband, and father, and to make meaningful impact alongside people who value integrity, curiosity, and kindness.
The climb continues.
