Get to know the person behind the work
Hey, I'm Shawn. I enjoy working with technology and finding practical ways to make things work better for people and the environment.
I've spent years in tech, mostly with D365 Finance and Operations. I grew up in Oregon, so I care a lot about forests and nature. I like using what I know to help out, whether that's on a project or just doing my part for the planet.
When I'm not working on exciting projects, you'll find me exploring nature, reading about AI and other technologies, or experimenting with new creative endeavors. I believe that the best solutions come from the intersection of creativity, technology, and chasing honorable goals.
I approach challenges with curiosity and creativity, always looking for innovative solutions.
Committed to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship in all aspects of life and work.
Constantly exploring new technologies, methodologies, and perspectives to grow and improve.
