In pursuit of progress

Since I was young, I've loved being within the creative process. This took shape in artwork, writing, academic research, and now software.


Regardless of medium, I am driven by getting to wake up every day and work to make a project a bit better.


This mental frame serves as my guide throughout all areas of life whether it be athletics, learning, or deepening relationships.


In my day job, my focus is currently designing intuitive integrations for Microsoft's Azure Copilot to seamlessly assist cloud developers in their daily work.


In my free time, I enjoy tinkering with code and creating apps, boxing, marathon training, chatting with friends (old and new), and listening to audiobooks of memoirs or anything comedy-related.
