About me

Engineering, research, and teaching

I'm a software engineer who enjoys turning complex technical problems into clear, dependable software. I care about thoughtful interfaces, practical architecture, and building tools that feel intuitive without hiding the complexity behind them.

My background spans building full-stack applications, visualization, and teaching. I'm drawn to work that keeps me learning and makes difficult ideas easier for others to understand.

Current role: Software Engineer at SEL
Based in: Chattanooga, Tennessee
