About Me
I'm a full-stack engineer based (loosely) in Austin, TX — though you'll often find me working from a café in Lisbon, a ryokan in Kyoto, or a hostel common room somewhere between the two. I've been building for the web professionally since 2018, and I love the craft of turning complex problems into clean, intuitive products.
When I'm not coding, I'm writing about the places I visit, the lessons travel teaches, and the occasional life update. This site is my little corner of the internet — part portfolio, part travel journal, part personal essay collection.
