Raised in the sun and sand of Honolulu, Hawaii with nearly 5 years of professional experience in the non-profit and fine-arts field prior to starting my career in software development. I know that success lies at the intersection of building strong relationships and making the right choices in technology to manage and grow your business.


I enjoy creating and exploring applications that are accessible to all on the web, and I believe software development can be a force for positive change in the world. I hold a B.S. in Computer Science from Oregon State University, and I look forward to working with you.
