Kandern, Germany — where I went to high school and ran cross country

Faith, Fitness, Coding, and Exploration — the four pillars that shape who I am.
From building Reclamo.ai during my internship to launching thevelvetpinecone.com and YoIntern.com, I enjoy designing experiences that bring ideas to life through clean code.
I also built this portfolio site from scratch — because why not?
I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, striving to reflect His character through my work, relationships, and discipline. My worldview, goals, and purpose are all rooted in that relationship.
Having lived in the U.S., South Africa, Canada, Israel, Zambia, and Germany — I’ve developed a deep appreciation for culture and diversity. I hope to one day serve abroad again in a mission-driven capacity.
I view working out as stewardship — taking care of the body God has given me. My motivation stems from 1 Corinthians 3:16: “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple?”
I ran all four years of high school at Black Forest Academy in Germany. Running taught me discipline, endurance, and the mental clarity that often parallels the coding mindset.
Yes, I’m still a big Minecraft guy — creative survival worlds, building, redstone automation. It’s the perfect mix of design and logic, same reason I love coding.
