Developer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, focused on building sustainable, scalable databases and interfaces.

I'm a creative and resourceful Full-Stack Software Engineer with a background in architecture, design, and systems thinking. I build thoughtful, scalable software applications that prioritize accessibility, clarity, and human impact.

Blending technical skills with my artistic mindset, I'm passionate about using technology to drive meaningful change—especially in areas of sustainability, ethical design, and social good.

Whether I'm engineering clean backend systems or designing intuitive front-end experiences, I care deeply about making things that work and feel good to use. Curious by nature and quick to learn, I thrive in collaborative environments where ideas flow freely and problem-solving is both technical and creative.
