I didn’t start in software. My first jobs were hands-on — turning wrenches as a mechanic and running the floor as an operator. That work taught me how systems actually fail, and how the people running them think under pressure. It’s a perspective that doesn’t show up in a CS curriculum.

At some point I decided I wanted more leverage, so I made a deliberate pivot: went back to school for a Computer Information Systems degree at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, graduating in 2014.

From there I joined BSI, where I grew from individual contributor into the person designing and overseeing the full development of TRACE— an enterprise NDT data analysis platform now running in production across the pulp and paper industry. I also handle all of BSI’s IT operations, because someone has to and I’m good at it.

Now I’m building Neural Code Labs, where that same combination — industrial floor experience and modern software — gets put to work for other businesses.
