about me
I grew up in Auburn, California where I was introduced to lots of things that I’m into today, like climbing, computers, music, movies, and people.
I learned more about computers at UCLA and then moved up to San Francisco where I spent a few years working on cloud infrastructure at Stripe.
I’m in Oakland now, working at Arcol, building the future of architecture software and making the power of computer-aided design accessible to more people.
I try to spend my free time slacklining, climbing, listening to music (the last song I listened to was Washington by Jake Xerxes Fussell), making music, reading, writing, and watching movies (the last movie I watched was The End).
