About me

I’m a full-stack web developer with a background in education and behavioral therapy. I’m an optimist to the core, championing the people and products I work with. I’m always searching for ways to reduce friction and make things feel intuitive. I use modern tools like Next.js to bring ideas to life, designing human-centered, inclusive experiences that work for real people. Whether smoothing out a workflow or wrestling with a tricky UI bug, I stay motivated by curiosity, empathy, and a belief that tech should make life easier.

I'm based out of Seattle, WA and when not coding I can be found climbing mountains, running, DIYing home projects, tending to my bonsai, or building custom hi-fi speakers!
