A curious developer and people person who likes to build new things. I enjoy making "techie" understandable to regular people. I have spent the last decade working in web technologies like Angular, Node, React, and NextJS both in team member and team lead roles. I love a challenge, whether it’s learning a new programming language or a new technical stack. I love to help other developers reach their full potential.
I am always learning, usually a new programming language or framework. Currently I am learning OCaml and Go, and experimenting with the Laravel framework. I plan to learn Rust next, once I have a good project to work on. My own experience makes me fond of indie hacking and I am currently working on tooling that will make it easier to take OCaml web apps to production faster. You can learn more about my current silly side projects below.

My degree in Computer science focused most heavily on C-based languages, with the introduction of Java my senior year into the curriculum. I also minored in math, but I promise I’m not actually that boring.
[IN DEVELOPMENT] OCaml is a beautiful language, but it lacks the strong Web-based app framework that many other languages already have. One of the best examples of these kinds of app frameworks is Laravel, an opinionated PHP framework that lets you build a complete app in virtually seconds. I love Laravel, so I am working to bring a similar sort of experience to OCaml, so that we can rapidly prototype project ideas in 'the beautiful language'.
[IN DEVELOPMENT] I love OCaml and indie hacking, but it has been historically difficult to use OCaml for indie hacking because it is complicated to deploy. Camelaunch is going to be a deployment management app that allows you to link an OCaml GitHub repo (structured in a certain way to start) and input your Digital Ocean token to deploy your app in one click.
A place for parents and students to partner together to learn and grow. I'm adding new exercises as I hear about more student work in local schools. My goal is to assist both public school and home school parents in their journey to raise and educate our next generation.
A place for developers to showcase all of the awesome domains they have acquired!
The anti-social network, where people can go to scream into the void. Messages live for 24 hours before self-destructing. WHNVR leverages passkeys for a completely secure and completely seamless login flow that makes it easy to post and eliminates the fear of account takeover.
