About

Hi! I’m a software engineer in Boise, Idaho who specializes in back-end development. My primary tools have been Dotnet and related technologies, which keeps me in the Windows ecosystem most of the time — but I’m a Linux guy at heart.

I started my career in 2017 as a front-end developer at Ritter Insurance Marketing, working primarily with Vue and JavaScript. In 2020 I made the switch to back-end development, where I’ve been working on Dotnet microservices, Azure infrastructure, and a fair amount of Terraform since. It was a big shift going from a dynamic language to a statically typed one, but it’s been worth it.

My blog is a place for me to share technical write-ups, personal projects, and the occasional life update. Writing is something I’ve been working to do more of, so this is my corner of the internet to do that. You can also check out some of my work blogs for my other writing at RIMdev.io

Favorite Topics #

Recently my main focus has been working with Dotnet and TypeScript, but I also enjoy working with Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I’ve worked with Docker for automated tasks, including setting up test suite runners and batch processes.

Outside of Work #

Outside of the day job I run a small martial arts studio. Over the years I’ve built and maintained the internal software for it — a Rails API with a Vue front end to handle student management, rank tracking, and scheduling. It’s been a great excuse to work on side projects that actually get used.
