More About Me
After graduating from Purdue University with a degree in Computer Science & a minor in History in 2013, I spent a few years doing IT support, sysadmin work, technology integration, and teaching a couple classes at West Lafayette Jr/Sr High School, followed by a stint as a web developer for the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue and several years as a software & IT systems engineer at AndyMark.
These days, I'm doing a little bit of this & a little bit of that, bringing my philosophy of artisanship along as I help folks leverage technology to work better through my engineering & consulting agency Sledgehammer Infosystems, support nonprofits & community organizations, mentor & coach young people, support the FIRST Robotics programs in my community & across Indiana, and dabble in other projects in those sorts of spaces.
In my free time I do a lot of reading, video game playing, and dabbling in technology-enhanced art.
