About
I'm a web technologist living in beautiful Huntington, Vermont, where I've found a confluence between creating innovative technology solutions and pursuing a love for rural living and outdoor enjoyment.
With over 20 years in the industry—from leading educational technology at PBS to architecting cloud infrastructure at Oracle—I care deeply about building systems that are both powerful and thoughtfully designed.
I'm a strong proponent of open source and have contributed back to many of the projects I work with. You can find my work on GitHub.
