Present
Software Engineer at Kickstand
Portland, OR
Landed my first role professionally as a software engineer. I was part of an agency that consulted, managed, and developed web applications. I worked as a full-stack engineer for Fig, a crowdfunding and investment platform for video games, and a frontend engineer for Source, a digital library platform for building resource materials.
2019 - 2020
Teacher Assistant at Alchemy Code Lab
Portland, OR
After graduating from Alchemy Code Lab I had the opportunity to stick around as a teaching assistant. Not only was it fulfilling to assist and teach students modern web technologies, but it helped solidify and deepen my understanding of them too.
2019
Student at Alchemy Code Lab
Portland, OR
I made a decision to become a software engineer and enrolled in Alchemy Code Lab’s Full-Stack JavaScript program. I went from not knowing how to open a terminal to building full-fledged web applications within six months. This experience was pivotal to the path I’m on now.
2018
Fisherman
Kodiak, AK
I decided to spend the summer on a fishing boat in Alaska. I think this may go down in history as the hardest damn work I’ve ever done but in the same breath it was such an amazing experience. The time fully emerged with nature and wildlife will never be forgotten.

Traveler
South America
Spent time traveling abroad with my family expanding my view of the world and gaining valuable life experiences.
2016-2017
Lab Technician at ARUP Laboratories
Salt Lake City, UT
Spent five years in a medical laboratory and worked my way from a Specimen Processor to a Problem Resolution Specialist for Anatomic Pathology and Oncology Department.
2010 - 2015
Barista + Surfer
Oahu, HI
My 18 year old self decided I wanted to learn how to surf so what better place than Hawaii? I sold my belongings and took a one way ticket to Oahu. I got a job working as a barista at Starbucks, and found friends who were kind enough to teach this haole how to surf. This was an amazing start to the past decade plus of my life.
