About

I'm a software engineer with a long history of being an avid learner, and employing technological solutions to solve problems. I work mainly with React, TypeScript, Node, & Express. I also sometimes work with Wordpress/WooCommerce. I am an avid believer in writing clean code manually as opposed to auto-formatters whenever possible. Just one of the small ways I liked to challenge myself! I am deeply interested in the health, education, music, finance, SaaS, and consumer electronics spaces.
