Hello! Thank you for visiting my website. I am an friend, engineer, and problem solver in the solar industry. I received my B.S. in Computer Engineering at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California, with culminating work in human-computer interaction and advanced computer architecture. I am a lifelong learner and currently engaged in continuing education at Skagit Valley College. I contract, configure, integrate, and develop enterprise software as the Director of Systems at Dynamic Energy. I collaborate with peers to address contemporary issues requiring research, data modeling, and applications of advanced technology. My hobbies include reading, playing guitar, and changing my lifestyle. Please feel free to reach out and connect with me!
