I’ve been a software engineer since I was in middle school when I began programming video games in Visual Basic. I’m obsessed with the junction between technical potential and human experience. Another way to say this: the junction where art meets science, or research meets application. This is the essence of engineering. The most powerful piece of software is ultimately a failure if its operation is not intuitive and simple.
I’ve been fascinated with reality, and my role within it, since a very young age. Since I was raised in a religious home, I naturally pursued an understanding of reality through religion. After failing to experience a meaningful connection to reality through religious outlets, I turned to science. After reading several of Hawking’s books including A Brief History of Time, and The Universe in a Nutshell, I fell in love with science, and have been on a path of continuous learning ever since.
Currently, I’m working at Perceptive Software as a Development Support Professional. My ultimate goal is to someday work at SpaceX and use my software engineering skills to contribute meaningfully to the cause of making humanity multi-planetary.
