About

Based in Northern NJ. Before finding my love for programming, I loved and love the arts. At 13, my friends convinced me to learn the guitar for a metal band they were forming and they wanted me to be their rhythm guitarist, so I learned as much from my friends, on my own and through the internet.

A few grassroots records and bands later as rythm guitar, I stumbled upon interactive, digital art installataions when visiting art museums in NYC with friends.

I knew I wanted to dive into that world.

I thought to first learn to do that, I had to get a get good at writing code and probably learn math, so I switched from Media Arts to Computer Science. I learned to love the SDLC and performant, scalable systems of all kinds, including B2B SaaS.
