that make a difference.

About

Mission-driven full stack developer with a passion for thoughtful UI design, collaboration, and teaching.

I’ve always sought out opportunities and challenges that are meaningful to me. Although my professional path has taken many twists and turns, I've never stopped engaging my passion to help others and solve problems.

As a web/software developer, I enjoy using my obsessive attention to detail, my unequivocal love for making things, and my mission-driven work ethic to literally change the world. That's why I'm excited to make a big impact at a high growth company.
