About

Back in the early 2000s, before my teenage years, I was obsessed with a game called Neopets. I spent all of my free time creating rudimentary graphics and copying code by hand (I had no clue what CTRL+C and CTRL+V were). As I grew into my teenage years, I asked for Photoshop for my thirteenth birthday and committed myself to learning the ropes of web design and development through hands-on experience.

Now, after years of experience as a frontend developer and designer, I've built and shipped web applications for people and companies of all sorts, like a fortune-500 corporation, a student-led hackathon, a government agency, and a handful of startups (1, 2).

In my spare time, I'm usually gaming, writing, or hanging out with my two cats.
