Early Passion
Started hacking together basic HTML pages as some of my earliest memories. Lucky to attend a high school with AP Java, which fueled a lasting interest in programming.
Hello, I'm AJ
Fortune 110 software engineer and Azure certified professional.
Building data-driven systems and practical AI products.
About
Engineer, builder, and lifelong tinkerer.
Career Journey
After a CS degree from Augustana College, I built web automation that cut landing page development time by 90% and co-founded Intuico Digital during COVID. Today I'm a Software Engineer and AVP on U.S. Bank's cloud platform team, building governance, monitoring, and automation across AWS and Azure.
Recent Wins
Took a stalled multi-year alerting initiative to production in one week, built the engineering portal our 60-person cloud team runs on, and placed 1st in a company-wide AI engineering event.
Current Focus
Outside of work I build and launch AI and mobile products, including an AI try-on app with 8.2K+ users. Away from the keyboard: guitar, piano, outdoors, and sports. Curiosity and craft drive most of what I ship.
