About Me
I am a software developer and musician from Reynoldsville, PA. I have a B.S.
in Computer Science and Music from Allegheny College and I am currently
employed as a developer for CEI in Pittsburgh, PA. I have a broad
range of experience in software and web development.
As a consultant at CEI, I have gained valuable experience in all areas of software development and have been exposed to a broad array of tools and technologies. I have also had the opportunity to put my communication and leadership skills into practice in meetings with colleagues and clients. Being a consultant has taught me how to adapt to changing technologies and situations and given me an appreciation for continuing education and learning.
While at CEI, I have participated in a variety of projects. Some of these include:

Outside of work, I am an active musician. I play with several different groups and occasionally DJ for events. My primary instrument is piano, but I am also trained in voice, percussion, and guitar. Beyond performance, I have experience with video and music production as well as composition. I am also an avid gamer and DIYer.
Personally, I am a hard working, dedicated, and driven person. I like to see projects to completion regardless of the challenges involved. I am passionate about my interests, work, and life in general. I am committed to whatever I do and am always willing to expand my knowledge when I encounter the unknown.
