Software Engineer · Freelance Developer

I build reliable software for real-world use.

I work across web platforms, integrations, and applied systems — turning unclear requirements into software that’s reliable, understandable, and usable in production.

About

Software Engineer · Freelance Developer

I focus on building software that’s clear, reliable, and easy to work with.

I’m a senior at Drake University, but most of my recent experience looks less like coursework and more like real engineering work — integrating APIs, debugging production issues, refining UX flows, and maintaining systems over time.

I’m especially comfortable working from incomplete or messy requirements and turning them into software that’s maintainable, documented, and straightforward for others to work with.
