Engineer, musician, perpetual beginner.
public/images/profile.jpeg I'm a front-end software engineer based in Charlotte, NC, currently building things at iHeartRadio with React and TypeScript. I care a lot about the craft of the interface — the small decisions that make an experience feel alive and intentional rather than just functional.
Before I was an engineer, I studied music business at Belmont University (I'm a classically trained pianist, also trumpet), spent a year in law school, worked in video production, and found my way to Nashville Software School. The circuitous path left me with an unusual mix: I think like a systems designer, I write like a storyteller, and I build like someone who's genuinely delighted by the web.
Outside of work, I'm in the middle of pilot training, working my way up climbing walls, birdwatching with way more enthusiasm than I expected, learning German and Spanish simultaneously (not recommended), meditating, and reading everything I can. I'm also a mom — my daughter Hollis and our dogs Samantha and Tyburn keep things lively.
This site is a small corner of the internet where I keep my work, my writing, and the occasional overshare. Welcome.
A selection of things I've built — at work, for fun, and for learning.
A tool built out of personal necessity — I'm in pilot training, and I wanted something purpose-built for tracking progress, study sessions, and flight hours that didn't feel like a spreadsheet. A React + TypeScript app with a clean, focused UI that gets out of your way.
An interactive data visualization app exploring F1 race and driver statistics. I built this to dig into a dataset I found genuinely interesting and to practice building something visually expressive — charts that reward curiosity rather than just display numbers.
A CodePen dashboard component that's less about functionality and more about aesthetic: how data-heavy UI can still feel calm, considered, and human. This is the kind of design work I enjoy most — opinionated, detail-forward, and with a clear point of view.
A full-stack capstone project from Nashville Software School. A dog care tracking app with authentication, built with Node.js, AngularJS, and PostgreSQL.
