about
I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest.
I studied liberal arts in college with a focus on classical languages, critical and cultural theory, and film studies. I also took extracurricular coursework in film production with a focus on cinematography.
I bounced around jobs after college but eventually found myself pursuing a career as a software developer within the web3 ecosystem. I'm passionate about building tools and infrastructure for ecological regeneration.
