About Me

Hello, I'm Shawn! I'm a Software Engineer, and I truly can't get enough of software. After building my first computer when I was 12, I developed an eternal desire to know how something works. I began to question how things function fundamentally, and issues I ran into always felt like an opportunity. I chased that feeling. At this point, My curiosity seems to be an endless well, and I'm always trying to fill it. Development is a way for me to explore myself and realize my ideas into the world!

In my off-time, I am probably playing with my cats, spending time with my wife, or playing Super Smash Bros with my friends (I mostly play Ike right now, but I have the occasional Game & Watch pocket pick).

I encourage you to check out my projects section to see some of my work! Additionally, visit my LinkedIn, Github, and Wellfound for more details about me!
