As the team name implies, I spend most of my time working on the design and implementation of API’s for internal use within the company; I work with GraphQL and REST.

Personal⌗

I currently reside in the beautiful Pacific Northwest city of Portland, Oregon. When I’m not coding, I try to spend my time exercising (and discovering the many hikes in my area), trying new breweries / taphouses with friends, failing to play a song on the guitar, reading a fantasy novel, or spending my free time learning about programming stuff even though I should probably take a break from that since I program for a living…
