About Me

In my career I have had the privilege to work across a variety of environments to grow a diverse set of skills with a wide array of tools. I have worked on small but powerful development teams at Missouri University of Science & Technology as a Full-Stack Web Developer. At Lost Boys Interactive I worked on a fast-paced team creating AAA video game titles. In my last position at Dell Technologies I collaborated with a globe-spanning enterprise team that creates robust development tools by and for developers. It was high time for me however to pursue a project of my dreams, a predictive markets platform and thanks to web3 and BNB ecosystem, this can now be a reality.
