About

I live in Minneapolis, MN, with my spouse and two dogs. I am a print designer, turned web designer, turned front-end engineer, to an almost full-stack engineer.

I make websites performant, visually pleasing, accessible, and user-friendly.

I am a film nerd, technology lover, music snob, occasional painter, enthusiast photographer, and world traveler. When it comes to food I am vegetable obsessed and prefer savory to sweet. Indian and Ethiopian foods are my absolute favorites.
