I first started coding during my time at Iowa State University when getting my degree in Physics. Several months later I began my internship at Apple and haven't looked back since. At Apple I discovered I enjoyed the problem solving aspect of software engineering and from there moved on to Renewable Energy Group then to my current position at Bayer. In my current position I have the privilege of working on a variety of projects covering a wide range of skills and challenges.
Much of my time currently is taken up by my position at Bayer. I have an unfortunate tendency to work on my projects there, and not my personal projects, since I find them interesting and challenging. I cover a wide range of expertise covering the full stack development process to machine automation.
Outside of progamming and my work, I enjoy traveling when I can. My goal is to visit every continent and at least 30 countries. Currently, I have been to three if I include the United States. When I am not working or traveling, I enjoy watching movies, spending time with family and friends, and building Legos.
