About

During my career, I've been lucky enough to work as a full-stack developer, mobile app developer, and have even worked on some desktop apps. I've spent the last few years specializing in web development, and have found my passion crafting simple user experiences designed to delight users. I've worked on projects ranging from Todo to an internal CRM for Google, to a performance management tool for businesses.

My main focus these days is building frontend tooling for developers at Aumni. In my free time I work on various side projects.

When I'm not at the computer, I'm usually hanging out with my wife and two kids, playing Call of Duty with friends, or playing Pickleball.
