I got hooked on dismantling things as a kid. I spent much of my childhood with pirated copy of Photoshop making and figuring out how to softmod my Xbox. Had an atypical education growing up, and eventually went to school for design. I was a child of the internet, and my favorite education happened in chat rooms, forums, and documentation. I'd stay up till 3am debugging something stupid just because I couldn't let it go.
My coding skills grew like a house with random additions—HTML first, then PHP stuff with Drupal and WordPress, eventually JavaScript (moo tools, jquery, and then angular). I worked as a designer for a few years, but left that to do freelance web development. I was lucky to discover React and Next.js early on—they changed how I thought about building for the web, and I've happily used them ever since.
2017 was when things clicked together around crypto. At Blockstack (now Stacks), building wallets and SDKs became more than code—it was asking 'what if we built this differently?' After Stacks, I co-founded a design and engineering studio, then a helped build a privacy focused Bitcoin wallet startup, now I'm helping build universal exchange at Uniswap.
As a Staff Engineer at Uniswap, I'm doing what I've always done—finding the hidden logic in messy systems and making it visible. Building frameworks that don't hide their complexity but make it intelligible. The work hasn't changed since those forum days—just the materials.

When I'm not on the computer, I explore what it is to be in relation to other people through my camera lens. I love capturing the small, hidden moments all around us.
