About Contact Hire
Me

I am a Christian, husband , software engineer, and creator.
I love creativity and competition.
I hate laziness, lack of ambition, and dishonesty.
I believe generalization > specialization and small gov > big gov.
I enjoy anything that captures my imagination.
I dislike pointless work meetings, asparagus, and bluegrass.

I am open to full time and remote roles doing anything in software engineering, from full stack to mobile, or picking up something new like AI/ML, native PC/Mac, or game development. However, I am most interested in creative work such as content strategist or video editing.

This is my idealized view. I love winter, snowboarding, and just about anything involving deep, fluffy snow.
