I am currently a Software Developer on the Microsoft Payments team. I work on deploying and maintaining services for the Microsoft Store.
I have a range of experience from aviation to software development and networking. Below you’ll find a few of the non-school projects I had the privilege to work on. You can find more examples of my work on my GitHub repository and a full work history on my resume (download PDF).
Aviation
For nearly a decade prior to starting my degree, I was (and still am) a Certified Flight Instructor for single and multi-engine, instrument-rated airplane flying. The high success rate of my students earned me the coveted FAA Gold Seal certificate.
I worked for aviation companies in Cape Cod and Seattle, most recently Wings Aloft on Boeing Field. I was primarily a flight instructor but I also have experience with scenic flights and some maintenance work.
