I am software engineer based in Boston, MA. Started as a closet tech enthusiast with a former background in finance and accounting, where I looked for any excuse to keep on tinkering with VBA in Excel and financial models. I'm open to any frontend frameworks but React is where I cut my teeth, and I will preach about GraphQL to any who want to listen. 

I have experience in Typescript, Node, SQL, Python, React, corporate tax policy, asset valuation, breakdancing, and compiling lists of relevant skills. 

When I'm not at work, you'll still probably find me at work since I never felt more fulfilled in my life after my career change. And when I'm really not at work, you might find me developing mods or mod packs for various video games.
