about
profile
Inspired by the power to create an interactive user experience, I have spent the last 10 years developing a skill set that has allowed me to work across many mediums from game development to full stack web development — and most recently, AI-assisted engineering.
At Cigna I championed team-wide adoption of AI development tools, and outside work I use Claude Code and Codex to turn personal ideas into working apps. I do my best work in collaborative, fast-paced environments where curiosity, communication, and steady momentum drive strong results.
