Hello hello! I started coding when I was ten in New Hampshire cause I wanted to hack guinea pigs into Minecraft. I did generic wordpress dev for extra cash in highschool and tried to launch a startup in college. I'm now a founding engineer @trainwell.

I'm passionate about full stack software engineering, communication, and all things startup. ❤️ Unending optimism and positivity.
