The Beginning
I started coding at age 10, copying C programs from magazines to create text-based games. That early spark of curiosity has fueled a career spanning over 25 years in software development.
Education
In 1996, I enrolled at SUNY Fredonia to study music education. After a memorable disagreement with a theory professor, I switched to Computer Science. I graduated in 2000 with degrees in both Math and Computer Science.
Professional Journey
After graduation, I relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, starting with a $10/hour internship at a game studio. Since then, my career has taken me through:
- Gaming companies and a AAA studio in Laguna Beach
- Five years developing simulation software for government pilot training
- A decade creating business intelligence systems at a major domain registrar
- Freelance work serving clients in retail, medical billing, and the oil industry
Current Role
I currently serve as Director of Engineering at RadiusAI, where I deploy artificial intelligence and computer vision solutions across over 1,000 retail locations throughout the United States.
