Hi, I'm Forrest

I am a full-stack software engineer who enjoys building thoughtful and reliable systems from clean APIs to polished user experiences. I care about maintainability, collaboration, and shipping things that actually make people's lives better. I've spent most of my career working on large scale, high impact platforms, and I'm especially motivated by products that prioritize quality, usability, and developer experience.

About Me

I'm a software engineer with experience across the stack, but I'm especially comfortable owning backend services and the systems around them. I enjoy working on problems where good design, clear abstractions, and long term maintainability really matter. Most recently, I worked at Workday on a developer experience platform used by thousands of developers and visited millions of times a year. My work ranged from designing and maintaining backend APIs and infrastructure to building custome focused UXs in React. That cross stack experience has made me an adaptive engineer. I think a lot about how systems are used, not just how they're built. Check out more of my experience and work below:
