about

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I grew up on an island playing competitive sports and experimental rock music.

I studied liberal arts in college with a focus on classical languages, critical and cultural theory, and film studies. I also participated in an extracurricular program for film production focused on cinematography.

I bounced around jobs after college but eventually settled into a career as a software engineer within the web3 ecosystem. I now research and develop software for commons governance and ecological regeneration.
