About Me
I grew up in Poynette, Wisconsin, a very small town of about 2,500 people located just North of Madison on Highway 51. I attended all 12 years of my primary education at the Poynette School District and graduated in 2015. There is almost nothing noteworthy from the town, other than the MacKenzie center.
I graduated High School from the Poynette School district in 2015, and it's where I learned of my love for Computer Science. For the first 3 years of college, I attended Madison College (also known as MATC) for their transfer program, and completed most of my general education requirements. I finished up my time at Madison College in the spring of 2018. From fall 2018 until December 2020, I attended the University of Wisconsin -- Madison for Computer Science, with a minor in Mathematics.
I am currently an embedded software engineer for Sound Devices, LLC, working on their Astral transmitters and receivers. My primary expertise is in embedded systems development and peripheral device integration. I have a strong foundation in C and C++, but am also quite comfortable with Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Java. I work almost exclusively in the Linux Operating System, so I also have extensive experience writing shell scripts.
Previously, I worked at Genus PLC as a senior software engineer in their biosystems engineering department, developing their bovine sexing instrumentation.
My primary area of interest is in embedded systems; I love working on devices that interact with the physical world. But I love pretty much all aspects of software development. Throughout my professional career, I've done a little bit of everything in the software development lifecycle.
