I'm a software engineer and Python developer with a focus on data engineering and machine learning operations - based out of Denver, Colorado, USA.
My work with data has spanned from being on the front lines as an analyst and data scientist, building out data platforms, architecting machine learning recommendation systems, and working on scalable applications as a backend and platform engineer. Currently, I work as part of a software engineering team looking to make heart attacks a thing of the past using machine learning.
I’m very interested in machine learning operations (MLOps), big data engineering, distributed systems, large language models, and everything open source.
When I’m not coding you can find me camping with my partner and our two dogs, catching a bluebird day skiing in Colorado, or soaking up the sun at a bluegrass concert.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than right now.
– The Zen of Python
In my free time I try to build tools and software that spark joy ✨. Below are a few of my more public facing GitHub repositories and some details about the projects.
camply
, the campsite finder ⛺️, is a tool to help you book an online campground. Finding
reservations at sold out campgrounds can be tough. That's where camply
comes in. It searches the
APIs of Booking Services like https://recreation.gov (which works on thousands of campgrounds across
the USA) to continuously check for cancellations and availabilities to pop up. Once a campsite
becomes available, camply
sends you a notification to book your spot!
You can install camply easily via pipx install camply
.
browsr
🗂️ is a pleasant file explorer in your terminal. It's a command line TUI application
that empowers you to browse the contents of local and remote directories with your keyboard or
mouse. You can quickly navigate through directories and peek at files whether they're hosted
locally, in AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage. View code files with syntax
highlighting, format JSON files, render images, convert CSV and Parquet files to datatables
and more. Get going with all of browsr
's superpowers with pipx install "browsr[all]"
.
Welcome to llm-term
💬, a command line utility that allows you to chat with LLM models directly
from the comfort of your command line - this includes OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic, and more. This tool leverages
Langchain and Rich to facilitate real-time conversations with LLM models in your terminal. It enhances the
user experience by streaming responses as rich text, complete with code-formatting and syntax highlighting.
Get started with pipx install llm-term
and stay on the command line!
hatch-pip-compile
is the missing lockfile capability for the hatch Python
project tool 🥚. It's a hatch plugin that connects your hatch-managed virtual environment to a lockfile
managed with pip-compile. The plugin detects whether your
environment or lockfile is out to date and automatically syncs them when needed - and it's fast!

The zoo
project 🦁🐼🐨, an asynchronous zoo API powered by FastAPI, SQLAlchemy 2.0,
Pydantic v2, and Alembic. zoo
is a simple yet robust API example that allows you to manage
a zoo. It utilizes modern tools and practices, including a production-ready server (Uvicorn),
modern SQL ORM (SQLAlchemy 2.0), data validation (Pydantic v2), and database migrations (Alembic).
This project serves as an excellent starting point for building your own API, outlining the
basic structure of an API project and providing examples of implementing common features.
