Featured Experiences ๐
From high school until now Iโve worked on some cool projects that you can find below ๐
Working ๐ผ
In 2014, I started working for my parents on their farm during the summers when I wasnโt in school ๐ In 2017, I switched to Lifeguarding at the Imperial City Pool ๐ Throughout my university career from 2019 to 2023, I had a series of internships and part-time jobs as a web developer at FarmAfield, a teaching assistant in a software engineering course, and a graphic designer at Mystic Rhoads Productions ๐จโ๐ผ Once I graduated from university, I started freelance developing for Wallin Farms and freelance graphic designing at Mystic Rhoads Productions. ๐ฝ After 2 months of job search, I was hired by Sandhills Global as a Software Developer Intern where I trained for 2 months to be a full-time Software Developer.
Pet Projects ๐จ
If you know me as a developer, you know Iโve spent a ton of time on portfolios Iโll never get back. A place I call portfolio hell. Learn more in the posts below ๐ I also made a glorified spreadsheet for a weightlifting routine ๐ช
Fun School Projects ๐
Fun and school usually donโt go together, but somehow Iโve managed to connect gaming with school and games are a lot of fun ๐ฎ๐
Talks
In the Fall of 2023, I started going to the following meetups: Lincoln AI, Lincoln.code(), and NebraskaJS. In Spring of 2025, I gave my first meetup talk at NebraskaJS as part of their Lightning round where there are several talks ranging from 5-15 minutes.
