About Me:
I am a full stack developer with a passion for video game development. My favorite video game is Tetris. You can play my version of it here. For the last two years, I have worked at Typo*, a messaging app for creative teams. Working on a small team ( < 10 people) has been incredibly rewarding and allowed me to get my hands dirty, working on every aspect of developing our backend and native macOS and iOS clients.
My formal education in computer development was very much foundational and language agnostic. The benefit of that has been that it lets me jump between frameworks and languages relatively easily. I don’t really care what the tool or the stack is. I just want to make beautiful and functional digital experiences.
