About Me
I'm a developer who loves solving problems and learning new things. Currently, I work as an Application Developer at Frankenmuth Insurance, where I support all aspects of the .NET Framework ecosystem for applications that support our agents, policyholders, and employees. This involves maintaining legacy systems, enhancing existing applications, and creating new applications to improve our processes. When I'm not coding, you can find me at the gym, on the golf course, reading, building things with my 3D printer, skiing, or exploring new hobbies.
