About Me

Born and raised in New Jersey since the 90s, I've been a geek for the technology that we grew up with, and by sixth grade I was already building websites in pure HTML in Notepad.exe.

I consider myself a bit of a jack of all trades — I've dabbled in everything from hardware troubleshooting to game development, and I like expanding my skills across different domains. I also have a soft spot for the vintage 90's colors and software design of yesteryear. When I'm not coding or tinkering, you'll often find me indulging in DIY projects, electronics, Star Wars, and cars (and wrenching on these as well!)

My journey has always been about solving problems and finding ways to make the digital world more intuitive and welcoming for everybody. I believe that good design and thoughtful programming can make a difference. I am driven by a deep interest in learning how to create things efficiently, holding myself to high standards of quality in every project.

Whether it's building apps, experimenting with new ideas, finding the most effective solution, or making video games, my passion lies in creating solutions that respect and elevate the user experience and enjoyment, regardless of ability.
