The Beginning
I started coding at 10 years old, recreating C programs from magazines to build text-based games on our family computer. What began as a childhood curiosity turned into a 25+ year career building software across industries you'd never expect to be connected.
Education
In 1996, I enrolled at SUNY Fredonia to study music education. After a disagreement with a music theory professor (long story), I switched my focus to Computer Science — a decision that changed the trajectory of my life. I graduated in 2000 with degrees in both Mathematics and Computer Science, with coursework focused on computer graphics, compression techniques, and database systems.
Professional Journey
My career has taken some interesting turns:
- Started at gaming companies, eventually working at a AAA studio in Laguna Beach where I helped ship a major console title
- Spent five years building government pilot training simulation software, writing real-time 3D rendering systems in C++ and DirectX
- Spent a decade at a major domain registrar, creating business intelligence and executive reporting systems
- Freelanced across retail, medical billing, and oil & gas industries, building everything from reservation platforms to safety systems for offshore drilling
Current Role
I'm currently the Director of Engineering at RadiusAI, where we deploy AI and computer vision solutions across 1,000+ retail locations in the United States. I hold a U.S. patent for a multi-camera computer vision system for real-time tracking and analysis.
