Currently building web experiences at Marriott International, he blends front-end and back-end skills with Python and iOS knowledge to deliver practical, user-focused solutions. A lifelong tinkerer, he applies that curiosity to personal projects like a Raspberry Pi–powered PRT Monitor and maintains a portfolio and blog that showcase both his code and writing.
