I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a B.S. in Computer Science in 2011. Programming is both my work and my hobby. I have lived in Southern California all my life and love the weather, atmosphere, and people here. My other loves along with programming are the trumpet, UCSB Gaucho Soccer, skiing, and pinball.

I am currently employed in beautiful Santa Barbara as a Software Architect at Extensiv, primarily focused on the Integration Manager platform. I helped found and was the lead developer for CartRover, an Ecommerce integration platform which was  acquired by 3PL Central in December 2021.

I am an avid supporter of Linux and all open source work.

Professional Projects

Here is a summary of some of the professional projects I have worked on.

• Rate shopping between carriers at shipping time
• Weight validation of packages to catch mis-picks

The CIO Remote system was sunset in 2024 after company acquisition.
