## Career

- 2024 → now: Software Engineer, DNA Supply Chain Solutions. Got promoted out of ops because I apparently cared too much about the broken systems around me. Now I lead hands-on development across quoting, tracking, and other operational workflows.
- in progress: B.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, WGU. Back in school, finishing a degree.
- on the side: Independent contractor, Centreville Tech. Client work, including the NetRise migration and ISP Hyperdrive.
- 2020 → 2023: Account Manager, DNA Supply Chain Solutions. Enterprise ocean and air freight from Asia. Spent a lot of time explaining to carriers why their tracking data was garbage.
- 2019 → 2020: Operations Analyst, DNA Supply Chain Solutions. Data entry. The glamorous stuff. Kept hitting the same data quality problems, fixed them, and saved ops about 20 hours a week.
- 2018 → 2019: Electronics Associate, Walmart. Explained HDMI vs USB-C to 100 people a day.

- Game dev: Mostly Unity. I made a pile of little games while I was learning. Right now I'm building a motel simulator: a goofy tycoon game to play with friends.
- Music: J. Cole is my all-time favorite. Past that it's all over the place: 70s, 80s, and 90s oldies, rock, pop, alternative, hip hop, R&B.
- Family + the zoo: Most of my time off goes to hanging out with family, which includes four cats and two dogs.
- Outside: Snowboarding in the Colorado mountains, hiking (only when it's cold), and exploring and traveling whenever we get the chance.
