Summary

I'm a dedicated father, entrepreneur, and full-stack engineer that loves to learn bringing new things the world. I have expertise in Java back-end development, JavaScript, distributed computing, and lots of web scraping. I created a distributed back-end platform called Automately. The source code was eventually acquired, and moved onto a new home.

I graduated high school in 2012 at the Roy Chapman Andrews Academy in Beloit, WI. During my time there I was able to gain first-hand knowledge and experience by working on various projects that included digital electronics, business accounting, and a lot more.

I have been programming since middle school working on various personal projects and eventually started my own businesses. My mission is to use technology to make change in the world that can benefit everyone. If that means selling potatoes, and bongs then bong away.
