Curriculum Vitae

Updated July 2023

I am a self-taught iOS engineer. I began making apps for iPhone and iPad around 2014, beginning with indie releases on the App Store. Since then, I’ve done open source development, contracted with small businesses and non-profits. Currently, I work at CarMax where I worked on their flagship iPhone app and their Point of Sale systems.
