About
About me
Frontend developer with many+ years of experience building and iterating on real products. Most of my career has been spent working in product teams shipping MVPs, scaling codebases, and improving live applications used by real users. I care about clean architecture, meaningful test coverage, and documentation that makes teams faster and codebases easier to maintain. Collaborative, product-minded, and always focused on the user, I work closely with experienced engineers and cross-functional partners, and bring a strong sense of ownership to everything I build. Experienced with modern AI-assisted development workflows, including hands-on work building AI chat interfaces.
I’m a career-changer who transitioned into tech at 40, taking the self-directed path to make the switch in just 10 months. An active contributor in the development community with 3400+ GitHub stars, most notably for my open source tutorial project Contribute-To-This-Project . I contribute tech articles and have been published in FreeCodeCamp, Hackernoon, Honeypot’s .Cult, and Better Programming, including my widely-read article about transitioning to tech . Before tech, I was a teacher, where I loved working with kids.
Beyond software, I love cooking and exploring food. Deeply enthusiastic about everything to do with music. I like to learn about linguistics, history, science. Curious about everything ever; hummus, strings, words, maps, electrons, pens, sounds, everything!
