About

Last Updated on
Troy

A full stackish developer with a strong penchant for building layouts, I am a developer / designer with over ten years of experience. In that time I have seen a lot of code and worked on many different projects. I recently started at a small and scrappy game startup after spending most of my career in media and online learning platforms.

Before starting a career in technology I held jobs that included making gift baskets and sandwiches. This was a valuable and formative time for me.

In my spare time I like to hang out out with my spouse and two cats. I recently have started experimenting with pixel art.
