About me

I am a software developer with an extensive background in GIS. Originally from Louisville, KY, I relocated to Charlotte, NC in 2014. My undergraduate education was fueled by interests in weather and cartography. This led to degrees in Meteorology and Geography and a very rewarding career in GIS.

Throughout my career, creative problem solving and automating complex procedures are what I have found to be the most rewarding. Web development is a natural progression that allows me to pursue these same goals in new, innovative ways. In 2017, I successfully completed an intensive course in web development at UNC Charlotte. Although I continue GIS activities, I now am a full stack software developer at Bank of America.
