About me

Since finishing my degrees in Computer Science at MIT and Berkeley, I've worked as a front-end engineer at several different start-ups. I'm passionate about building responsive, interactive, and intuitive user interfaces. I'm currently working remotely from various locations in the US and am interested in remote freelance opportunities.

In my free time I enjoy traveling, taking photos, skiing, hiking, rock climbing, sailing, and eating tasty food.
