Hi! I'm a software engineer passionate about the nexus between tech, society, data, and great storytelling. Before pivoting to tech, I was at a nonprofit amplifying the voices of girls and gender-nonconforming folks. Now, with each line of code, I aim to bring to life a more perfect society and to expand the boundaries of digital storytelling.

If you're interested in sharing protopian ideas or new ways of exploring the digital storytelling medium, let's chat!

Proficient: Javascript, React, Redux, Express, Node.js, Sequelize, PostgresSQL, HTML, CSS
