From a small town to the coast.
A small Midwestern town gave me my values and a real appreciation for people — something that still drives me today. The family business taught me the rest: hard work, and delivering every job to the best of my ability, every time.
At nineteen I bought a one-way ticket to California — no safety net, no fallback. I came looking for opportunity and a shot at building a life of my own.
I helped run a high-volume ecommerce operation, where I doubled the team and its output while raising the quality of the work. At the same time, I built my own moving company — one focused on helping seniors move without the stress.
My specialty is AI-assisted development — the backends and codebases that make custom software actually run. A few things I've built, across different fields:
A HIPAA-compliant platform with AI that matches patients to the right care — cutting patient intake time in half.
Client-facing booking and management software for a rental shop — replacing a fully paper operation with a live system the business runs on every day.
An operations hub that pulls an entire business — projects, scheduling, notes and more — into one place instead of a dozen scattered tools.
I didn't come from tech. I learned it by doing it.
