About me

I am a passionate web developer dedicated to growing in my craft and providing value to my team. I constantly look for opportunities to challenge myself, clean up code, and improve processes.

While my love for software development started at a young age, I initially pursued a career in music, studying film and video game scoring and working for several years leading teams as a music director. Composing a score and building an app are remarkably similar — both disciplines combine technical skills and creative spark to build a system out of smaller parts.

I began exploring web development and design in 2020, designing brands and websites for small businesses and organizations. At the same time, I started to get serious about web development, following The Odin Project, an open-source curriculum that teaches full-stack JavaScript development in a hands-on way.

By the end of 2021, I had an established portfolio of work and joined Designory, where I currently work building powerful web experiences for a handful of clients.
