About Me
I am a software developer currently living in the west suburbs of Chicago. I'm a skilled Android developer, having written several apps currently available on Google Play. I'm also an expert in backend systems development with Django/Python, C#/.Net and Java/J2EE. I am first and foremost a problem solver. My strength is taking ideas, building on them, and making them happen.
I grew up in Iowa and I graduated from the University of Iowa in 2007. I've worked as a developer for the University of Iowa Hospitals, State Farm Insurance, KeyLimeTie LLC, Lextech Global Services, and Maestro Health.
