Welcome to my online portfolio. Let's make your time here worth it!

About Me

I'm a fullstack Software Engineer at Google in the YouTube ShopAds team. With 6 years of work experience and a Computer Science degree, I thrive in a fast paced environment. I'm comfortable with large scale platforms and high user impact projects. I'm experienced with both frontend and backend work. I enjoy driving the project from start to launch which includes the process of scoping, designing, implementing, testing, debugging, analyzing data, and finally launching the project.


On my free time I enjoy playing poker, video games, and reading. I also like to draw, spend numerous hours on Adobe After Effects and Photoshop, and explore new cafes and restaurants. I'm a huge gamer!
