01 / About

At home in the space between people and technology.

I enjoy working at the leading edge of technology while keeping people and their needs at the center of the work.

I work remotely from Grand Rapids, Michigan, leading an IT software engineering team at Vermeer. My career has taken me from embedded microcontrollers and Linux through application development and now enterprise software, giving me a broad view of how technology fits together.

I’ve also taught as an adjunct instructor in Grand Valley State University’s engineering department, where I enjoyed watching lessons click for the next generation of engineers. Today, I serve on the City of Grand Rapids’ West Side Corridor Improvement Authority board, bringing my perspective as a resident and consumer to decisions affecting the West Side’s business districts.
