Software Developer, Adventurer, Tinkerer

A couple of years ago I decided to make some changes in my life, pursue my passions and live a life without regrets. I moved to San Francisco to be in the heart of the tech industry and rekindled a passion for programming that had first been sparked in high school upon discovering that I could create programs on my graphing calculator. Along the way I embraced yoga, attended every tech meetup I could, and accidentally became a tennis instructor.

I have extensive experience writing in OOP languages, including Ruby and JavaScript. I'm also familiar with a number of web technologies including React, Rails, HTML, CSS, and JQuery. I've created full-stack web applications utilizing Rails on the back-end (implementing RESTful APIs and PostgreSQL) and React/Redux on the front-end (see eg. Sheeple). More recently I've been exploring mobile application development, using React Native and the Firebase platform for responsive design and real-time interactivity (see eg. Team Challenge). Truly, nothing beats the thrill of seeing something grow from an idea to a fully formed product.
