I'm a software engineer living in Northeast Minneapolis.
I spend my time tinkering, traveling, and biking between breweries.

About

I live in Northeast Minneapolis with my beautiful wife and two Labradors, Winston and Uma. Winston is a grouchy old man who loves bread and tomatoes. Uma was supposed to be a service dog, but failed out of training for being too friendly.


I'm a software engineer who likes to tinker and learn new things. I've been drinking the AI kool-aid lately after a few years of working on compute platforms. I've also been working on a mapping and travel hobby project for what feels like forever. I might finish it someday.


When I'm not at a screen, I'm usually biking around the city visiting taprooms and grabbing a bite to eat, or my wife and I are planning our next trip somewhere new.
