I'm a web developer with a skillset in Ruby, Rails, React.js, and JavaScript.
I'm most happy these days when I'm building an awesome web app, creating a slick forward-thinking UI, or hunting down bugs (or Pokémon). The challenges presented by building and maintaining the modern web satisfy a penchant for problem solving and computers that I've had since a young age.
In my spare time, I enjoy making music and theatre art.
