Overview

Experienced Front End Engineer with a passion for building useful products & user-friendly UIs.

Excited about products that delight and help the world.

In the past, I have studied Photojournalism, served deep-dish pizza, set up breakfast in a five-star hotel, and driven forklifts in a warehouse.

What I've been up to recently…
