about me

I grew up in Auburn, California where I was introduced to many of the things that I’m into today, including climbing, computers, music, movies, and people.

After high school, I moved to Los Angeles to go learn about computers at UCLA. I then came up to San Francisco where I spent a few years working on cloud infrastructure at Stripe.

Currently, I’m working at Arcol where I’m learning more about web technology and graphics, and helping build the future of building design software.

I try to spend my free time slacklining, climbing, listening to music, making music, reading, writing, and watching movies.

about this website

This is mostly a place for me to share things that I write, but it’s also home to some little projects of mine, like this page that lists my favorite albums or this list of links that I think are cool.

I’ve written about how I build and manage this site here.
