For my formal education, I received a B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Kansas. As exemplified in this website, I have also picked up a fairly extensive set of software and web development skills,
obtained both from university coursework and self-directed learning. Additionally, my family includes professional artists, whose influence has given me a broader awareness and deeper appreciation of aesthetic design principles, which are demonstrated in my frontend work.
I've worked for a number of years professionally as an Aerospace & Mechanical Engineer in roles as varied as designing systems for space launch vehicles to selling 3D-printed prototypes. I do have sales and project management experience,
but I think I'm at my best when I'm engaged in the process of creation, whether it's a complex mechanical system or an elaborate design scheme for a website.
