About Me

I am a Cloud & Dev Tools Engineer for Woven Planet, a subsidiary of Toyota. I work closely with teams in Palo Alto, California and Tokyo, Japan. I hold a Master of Science from Arizona State University and a Bachelor of Science from Utah State University, both in Computer Science. I am passionate about autonomous vehicles, cloud computing, and internet of things (IoT) technologies. When I'm not coding, I am either homebrewing beer, off on a motorcycle ride, or traveling the world. You can view my 360 photos from my travels here. I also manage a personal blog where you can see what I've been up to lately with my travels, experiences, and projects.
