With an appetite for predicting the future, I have been able to mold my career as a high-powered professional through the roles of a Baseball Operations Intern, Baseball Scout, and Version Control Lead/Programming Manager. I have prospered in both startup and established company environments, always looking to learn more and exceeding role expectations while transforming my abilities and concepts into reality with efficient, creative, and practical solutions. My sports analytic exposure solidified my adaptability and communication, while my startup journey fine-tuned my leadership and teamwork abilities, yielding an empathetic advancement mindset. I thrive upon discipline, am willing to take the road less taken, while also raising up those alongside of me.
