01 — About
› Engineering & Systems
I’m currently a QA Automation Engineer at UltraSignup, focusing on test infrastructure and quality engineering with TypeScript and Playwright. Outside of work, I daily-drive NixOS across my personal setup, running a self-hosted homelab stack, terminal-driven workflows, and my gaming setup.
› Family
Most of my time away from the keyboard is spent with my wife, Katie, our daughter, and a full house of animals—our two dogs (Kingston and Maverick) and three cats (Mochi, Ash, and Lazlo).
› Music & Guitar
Music is my main creative outlet outside of tech. When I pick up the guitar, I’m usually dialing in new tones, tracking riffs, and writing. It’s an easy, hands-on way to reset and focus on pure songwriting and sound design.
› Video Games
I’m drawn to atmospheric titles with tight mechanics, sharp art direction, and challenging gameplay—favorites include Blasphemous and Returnal—along with digital deckbuilders and card games.
› Tabletop & Board Games
On the tabletop side, my wife and I love deckbuilders, drafting, and tactical games like Clank! Catacombs, The Vale of Eternity, Ascension Tactics, Silver, and Shards of Creation. I’m also a big fan of trading card games, frequently playing Sorcery: Contested Realm.
› Movies
I really enjoy watching horror, sci-fi, and fantasy films. I love everything from atmospheric, slow-burn thrillers to practical-effects creature features and imaginative world-building, and I’m always hunting for overlooked gems.
