about

A software engineer based in Austin, Texas with a specialty in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem. I enjoy developing pixel-perfect solutions that emphasize on delivering an intuitive user experience.

My inspiration to pursue this field is accredited towards Apple. I vividly remember the twelve year old me getting my hands on my first iPhone and navigating through the endless features that sparked a fascination in technology that has stayed with me ever since. Today, I strive to bring the same experiences to my users. My main focus in developing software is to create an exquisite user experience while bringing applications to life with aesthetic user interfaces.

When I'm not at my computer, you can typically find me working out, bouldering, hiking with my two dogs (Corgi and Shiba Inu), or just casually lounging with my S.O watching some popular shows. If you see something you like or would be interested in collaborating on something, my door is always open to chat about tech, fitness, or life!
