Principal Software Engineer | Adjunct Instructor | AI, Cloud & Web Technologies Enthusiast
I am a Principal Software Engineer with over 17 years of experience designing, building, and leading enterprise-scale software solutions across the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Currently, I am a Principal Software Engineer at Medtronic. Previously, I spent more than six years with the State of Minnesota as a Lead Application Developer, where I led multiple mission-critical application initiatives and architectural decisions while mentoring development teams in modern web technologies.
In addition to my industry experience, I teach as an Adjunct Instructor at Minnesota colleges and universities, helping students build strong foundations in software engineering, programming, and problem-solving.
I am deeply passionate about software development, artificial intelligence, and cloud technologies. Outside of my professional pursuits, I am a devoted husband and father to four wonderful kiddos ❤️
