About Me

I am a software developer living in Austin, TX with experience in HTML, CSS/SCSS, TypeScript, web components, the popular front-end frameworks, and some other things. I'm currently working on building Protean Studio - a vehicle to do meaningful and interesting work.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Mississippi with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and an Emphasis in Manufacturing. While at Ole Miss, I was highly involved in extracurriculars. During that time, I taught myself HTML and CSS and developed a few basic websites.
