Work Experience

IBM Security, Senior Software Engineer

October 2021 - Present
Austin, Texas

My "Big Blue" journey began on an incubation team in IBM Security as a Senior Software Engineer. This team gives me the opportunity to test out new technology and build proof of concept applications that will get extended by other teams. This was a fascinating role, where I get to shape the future of IBM's technology.

In 2022 I transitioned to a new team, where I audited our software services for security vulnerabilities. It was my responsibility to write and maintain automated tests for ongoing monitoring, and a suite of manual scripts to manage servers around the globe. Ultimately, I had to ensure compliance with multiple strict security guidelines.

HumanN, Lead Software Engineer

May 2019 - October 2021
Austin, Texas

HumanN, a functional foods and nutritional supplement company hired me as a Lead Software Engineer to modernize their technology. They are one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S., making the Inc. 5000 list the last 10 years in a row (2015 - 2024). I contributed to this hyper growth by:

Keller Williams Realty, Senior Full Stack Developer

June 2015 - May 2019
Austin, Texas

I packed my bags and accepted an offer from Keller Williams Realty International Headquarters in Austin, Texas. During my time there I greatly expanded my skill set, technically and socially. Some accomplishments were collaborating with international teams, hosting large events, and learning from talented engineers.

KathodeRay Media, Web Developer

May 2011 - April 2015
Albany, New York

I landed my first development job at KathodeRay Media Inc., a marketing agency in Upstate New York. I learned how to be a team player and got to participate in a variety of projects from start to finish. Working and living in New York was an incredible experience.

Full Sail University, B.S. Web Design & Development

September 2008 - July 2010
Winter Park, Florida

I moved from chilly central Pennsylvania to sunny Winter Park, Florida, to attend Full Sail University. While there I realized my strength is in developing websites over designing them. Two short years later, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Web Design and Development.
