Hi, I'm Rob

Developer, drone nerd, doggo guy, and proud UMass Boston alum

I started working as a full stack web developer in 2018 after previously working as a senior data network and information security engineer. I'm also a photographer and FAA Part 107 drone pilot whose work can be seen regularly on NBC10 in Boston and occassionally on NBC Connecticut in Hartford.
