About me

I’m a web developer with a passion for building fast, beautiful user experiences. I’ve worked in a variety of tech stacks, primarily as a frontend developer for early-stage software startups. I also have experience building both REST and GraphQL APIs.

For the last several years, I’ve been knee-deep in React and TypeScript, building dashboards and data visualization components.
