About Me


Professional

I am a Developer Advocate who currently works for IBM in Austin, Texas. I was originally born in Houston. Houston is the best city in Texas. Austin is great and I love living here.

My favorite kind of software development is on iOS. I love working with cameras, and so I've also done a lot of work with Computer Vision as a result.

I've also focused on REST APIs lately, so I do a lot of work with the Swift@IBM team in the UK. I'm learning a lot all the time about how to deploy them and work with them in all sorts of different languages!

Travel

I've been very fortunate to see a lot of the world in my personal and professional life. At the end of 2016, I moved back to the USA from London, UK, where I lived for several years. Some other places that I've also been lucky enough to visit are:

  • Florence
  • Singapore
  • Dubrovnik
  • Paris
  • Bogota
  • Istanbul
  • Hyderabad
  • Kaunas
  • Johannesburg
  • SaƵ Paulo
  • Tokyo
I try to take good photos on my Instagram here whenever I go somewhere, so feel free to take a look.

Music

I've been playing music ever since I was in the 4th grade. Fun fact: The first instrument I ever learned how to play was the chanter, which is integral to the bagpipes. I also know how to play drums, guitar, bass, a little keyboard, and I pretend to be able to sing whenever karaoke is involved. I was even a DJ at a nightclub in Houston back in 2012.

I do have a Soundcloud that I haven't posted to in 6 years. I won't tell you the link.
