Cincinnati BengalsUC BearcatsUT VolsFC CincinnatiCincinnati RedsNewcastle UnitedI'm a software developer based in Cincinnati — husband to Cath, dad to Anderson, Quinn, and Callan. I worked the Apple Store floor back when the original iPhone still felt like magic, which is what pulled me into building software in the first place.
These days I build payment tooling at Pay Theory, and everything else — the league, the music ranking, the two apps below — happens after the kids are asleep. When I'm not building, I'm rooting for the UC Bearcats, holding season tickets for the Bengals, and never missing a Celtics game.
