I’m a computer scientist based in Minnesota.
I build software and systems meant to last: clear, durable, and useful well past launch day.
When I’m not at a keyboard, I’m usually on a rig as a firefighter/EMT, or tinkering on an invention.
This site reflects what I’m building personally, advancing professionally, and putting into practice.

As the sole software engineer, I designed and built Pulse Pro's embedded platform from scratch: a custom Yocto Linux distribution running a Java application that talks to wireless Zigbee fluid sensors. I also built the cloud services and reporting behind it.
