About Me

"Singer-Codewriter"

I moved to Nashville in 2005 to pursue a life as a songwriter and recording artist. After 13 years of making music and touring the country, I began to explore additional creative outlets and became fascinated by software development. I attended Nashville Software School in 2018, staying on as an assistant teacher post-graduation. Since then, I've worked as a Quality Engineer at Change Healthcare and Asurion, and as a Developer in Test at CoStar Group.
