My mission is to achieve self-actualization by creating products and
spaces that contribute to the commons, either by creating spaces where people
become meaningfully connected to each other, or by helping them become better versions of themselves.
I've been a professional software engineer since 2009. I've worked
across many business verticals, with many technologies, and in various roles within organizations -
as individual contributor, team leader, and staff mentor.
I've also been an entrepreneur, with several projects under my belt,
and many more in various stages of completion.
I launched my first startup (CloseKnit) in the local lending and
community-building space at the height of the pandemic,
and was an early technical advisor to another startup in this space (Naborino.)
