The bit about myself

I'm a fun-loving front-end engineer that strives to bridge the gap between web design and development, building user experiences with positive interactivity through thoughtful interfaces. I advocate for modern best practices on the web and love working with diverse, inclusive teams. Currently, I build for the web with a lovely team at Netlify.

When I'm not coding, you can catch me noodling on my acoustic guitar or blasting out rhythms if there's a drum kit ready for a lefty nearby.
