More about me

Hello! My name is Owen, and my journey into the world of development began years ago, as a curious kid enthralled by the puzzle of writing my very first lines of HTML. Since then, my fascination with technology and its limitless possibilities has only intensified, leading me down a path where I've had the privilege to work on everything from simple websites to intricate, full scale software systems. For me, building things whether it's a dynamic new app, an innovative feature, or an entire solution from the ground up is less of a job and more of a calling. Even though I maintain a full time career outside of pure tech, I repeatedly find myself drawn back to the creative process of coding and learning, gladly filling the spaces between professional responsibilities with new projects and experiments. Bringing ideas to life with modern tools and best practices brings me an unmatched sense of fulfillment.

But there's even more to me beyond the code. When I'm not at the keyboard, I seek out new adventures sometimes quite literally taking to the skies, relishing the freedom and perspective that only flying can provide. I also have a longstanding commitment to giving back, regularly supporting my local community in whatever ways I can. And, as anyone who knows me well will tell you, I can be an absolute geek about anything related to the medical world. Whether I'm poring over the latest research in medical technology, discussing the finer points of human physiology, or simply indulging in another deep-dive on healthcare innovation and medtech gadgets, I find the intersection of medicine and technology endlessly inspiring (😛). My curiosity there knows no bounds from understanding how our bodies work at a molecular level, to exploring how software and digital systems are transforming patient care worldwide. All these passions keep life interesting and help shape the unique perspective I bring to every project, inside or outside of tech.
