I'm a developer passionate about crafting accessible, pixel-perfect user interfaces that blend thoughtful design with robust engineering. My favorite work lies at the intersection of design and development, creating experiences that not only look great but are meticulously built for performance and usability.
I've had the opportunity to develop software across a variety of settings — from startups and agencies to large corporations. These days, I'm focused on building accessible products for a diverse user base.
When I'm not at the computer, I'm usually hiking, reading, experimenting with new recipes, or exploring the city with my camera.
