Laying track by day.
Writing code by night.

Most days I'm out on the line, maintaining the rails that move freight across the country. It's physical, demanding work that leaves little margin for error. But when the shift ends and I'm back home, I open my laptop and build.

I taught myself to code because I wanted to create things that last longer than a shift. Things people can carry in their pocket. My goal is to eventually make the leap to full-time software development, trading the wrench for a standing desk. Not because the railroad isn't honorable work, but because I feel most alive when I'm solving a problem with software.

I build mobile apps with React Native & Expo, wrangle data with Python, and care deeply about tools that are simple, useful, and don't get in the way. My current project is Olive Branch, a clean offline Bible reader for the 2001 Translation.
