About

I'm a software engineer with 7 years of experience specializing in the React and JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems. I build accessible and performant web applications and enjoy solving complex challenges with clean, efficient code and AI-powered tools.

In a past life, I worked as an attorney practicing in criminal defense (both public and private), plaintiffs' civil rights litigation, and legislative policy.

Currently open to new opportunities. Feel free to reach out to me via email or LinkedIn.
