software engineer / design person / new yorker

Welcome to my corner of the internet

I’m a software engineering consultant in the greatest city in the world, New York, working with businesses of all shapes and sizes to solve their problems with technology.

This site is intentionally under construction forever.

Design and development belong in the same room.

I like making complicated systems understandable, useful, and maybe even pleasant. My academic background in Human-Computer Interaction and Computer Science informs how I approach both design and development.

I specialize in React and TypeScript, plus the surrounding front-end ecosystem, but I enjoy working across the full stack to get the job done.

    Notes

    Cooking, travel, and other things I want to remember.
