I write code on stage in front of a crowd. With 5+ years of experience in full-stack software development, I aim to teach and inspire thousands of developers to change the world with code. I enjoy sparking the imagination of developers and helping them build deep experiences with technology. I'm interested in applying creativity to software engineering, public speaking, advocating for the developer community, creating technical content and storytelling, improving developer experiences, contributing to open-source software, and influencing teams to build great products.
