πŸ‘‹ Hi there β€” I’m Todd

I’m a full-stack developer who loves the command line, clean code, and making complex systems simpler. I thrive at the intersection of data engineering, analytics, and modern JavaScript frameworks, with a focus on test-driven, maintainable design.

I believe in tools that work with developers β€” not against them.


βš™οΈ What I Like Working With

  • βœ… Nice people solving meaningful problems
  • 🟒 Node.js and everything around it
  • πŸ’š Vue 3 for expressive front-end experiences
  • πŸ§ͺ Test-driven design for predictable results
