About Me

Let me tell you about myself...

BIO

I'm a seasoned software engineer with experience in both front-end and back-end development. I've worked at cool companies like Google and Bloomberg where I was able to demonstrate my ability to build engaging UIs, increase performance, and collaborate with teams. With a focus on creating elegant and scalable solutions, I've developed various personal projects including a Reddit Clone using NextJS, a Dating App PWA, and a meal planning app for iOS. In addition to my main work, I've also served as an instructor, teaching programming skills to students and guiding them through projects. In my free time you can find me at the gym, cooking, or playing video games. You can view my full resume here or take a quick glance at some of my experience below.
