Hi, I'm Toby

I build full-stack web applications — from the database up to the UI. Currently writing production Go at BYU's Office of Information Technology. MISM student at BYU, graduating April 2027.

About Me

I'm a full-stack developer who loves building things that actually work for real people. Right now I'm a Student Software Developer at BYU's Office of Information Technology, where I write production Go, build and consume REST APIs, and ship features used daily by students and IT staff across campus.

I'm completing a BS in Information Systems alongside a Master of Information Systems Management (MISM) at BYU's Marriott School of Business — graduating April 2027 with a 4.0 GPA. I love the intersection of clean code, useful data, and great user experience.

Outside of code, you'll find me attempting escape rooms, growing things in the garden, or losing spectacularly at board games.
