Software Engineer @ Vertafore in Bothell, WA
"I've been hooked on programming since the first time I got a block pixel to appear on an Apple IIe in 1983. There's a sense of magic in being able to tell a machine what to do, and then see the commands come to life as something meaningful and useful to people, enriching their lives, helping with life's mundane tasks, making the impossible possible - and all with a sense of well-crafted, artisanal beauty. Software engineering is the culmination of art, science, and humanitarianism."

"I love those moments when you can just lose yourself in the code, the implementation just flowing from your brain to the screen. Those moments when you try something tricky and it works, or when you find a well-hidden bug and stomp it."
