01 / about

My passion and curiosity for computers sparked when I first laid eyes on a Dell PC circa 2009 at my dad's workplace. I was determined to have one at home, and after some persistence I finally got one. I couldn't resist tearing it apart and putting it back together. From that moment on, I was hooked. I wanted to understand the language that made these machines tick: computer science.
That led me to major in Computer Science at Northeastern University. Since then, I've mostly worked at startups, and currently I'm a Software Engineer at Flexcar, building across mobile, web, backend, and internal tools.
“I have a need for speed and to build applications that make a difference.”
Outside of work I love tinkering with personal projects, like the very site you're reading. When I'm not immersed in colorful lines of code, you'll find me in nature, hiking, rock climbing, star gazing, or with a good book (philosophy or non-fiction). Always capturing moments through film or Polaroid, documenting life one shot at a time.

I read everything I'm sent, even the long ones. Especially the long ones. Pick whichever channel feels least like work to you.
