I'm a software engineer, former educator, and hobby cosplayer; in short a lifetime learner and problem solver, with a passion for user-centered and responsive web design.

Software engineering and cosplay both require a lot of research, flexibility, and trial and error to ensure a good end result. I love being able to identify and fix a problem or at least provide guidance towards a solution.

I've worked with many different industries and technologies though I find myself most at home with the frontend in React (Typescript).

Currently looking for my next opportunity as a software engineer! Let's connect on Linkedin .
