Hello!
My name is Wes.

I'm a senior software engineer who loves to work with teams that are excited about building performant, scalable products.

I have twelve years of professional experience. I'm currently employed as a Senior Software Engineer II at Credit Karma, a company that champions financial progress for all.

In my most recent assignment, I've been leading a talented team of engineers on the Loans vertical at Credit Karma, where I'm responsible for defining and implementing our technical roadmap and designing, building, and maintaining highly scalable product features that serve the platform's 140 million members.

Previously, I've worked with the engineering teams to solve for accessibility at scale. Current and previous teams I've been a part of have had stated goals of achieving compliance with the WCAG 2.1 AA specification, and it was a wonderful experience making our digital platform more inclusive for all.

In my free time I love to find any excuse that I can to be outside: running, hiking, backpacking, camping, snowboarding, mountain biking, you name it!

I'm also an avid photographer and I'm currently learning videography and cinematography. You can find my photography at:
