I'm a product of Michigan, Chicago and Seattle who enjoys traveling to any place where new challenges and learning opportunities may be found. I work on core computing systems for the largest companies in the world and I learn new spoken languages over wake da shinkafa in rural Niger.

I greatly value excellence in my own work and open contribution to the fields and communities from which I have learned so much. I strive to make myself a bridge between diverse cultures whether it's developers and system administrators or whether it's my middle-eastern refugee neighbors and the local bank where they're trying to set up an account.

I try to always bring my aesthetic, resourcefulness, experience and comprehensiveness while continually learning from those around me. It's a good way to live.
