I am an eternal student and am constantly learning about new and current technologies (and old ideas that stand the test of time).  I enjoy working on personal projects, going to tech Meetups and building websites or applications that I think would be useful.  Please see the PROJECTS page and my GitHub page to see code samples and what I’m currently working on.   Lately I have been building apps using React and Redux using Sagas and a small Python Flask backend.  My latest project is a simple and educational stock analysis app, Stock Glasses, which you can read about by clicking HERE.   Things I’ve been learning and practicing recently include Statistics/Probability for Machine Learning, AWS/Cloud, Angular 16 and C# .NET.

As for a little background information on me, I have performed professionally as a musician (I play drums), and I also love Classical music and Jazz, hiking in the mountains, traveling and eating good food.   I’ve worked as an entertainer on luxury cruise ships (with companies including Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess and Celebrity) and have traveled to many countries around the world being exposed to different cultures, customs and ideas.  My background has helped me as a software engineer and I have a blog post about why that is here.  If you would like to know more about me or what I am working on, please feel free to contact me anytime by sending a message here.
