I'm currently a data/software engineer working in renewable energy solutions and grid services at Sunrun.
I have over a decade of professional experience in big data, security, web, and distributed systems. Prior to my current position, I worked with a talented and creative development team at Ping Identity, followed by Optiv Security.
Before getting into engineering, I had a brief, but rewarding career in journalism. I worked as a multimedia producer at the now defunct Rocky Mountain News where I produced Final Edition, an Emmy award-winning documentary chronicling the demise of the paper.
I have an MS from Johns Hopkins University and a BS from Metropolitan State University.
In addition to writing and engineering, I'm a vegan enby(they/them) nerd who is in love with this world and will forever be doing all I can to make it a better place.
And I may be known to occasionally play in a punk band here or there.
I have a soldering iron and a chaotic desire to void warranties.
