a bit about me ↓

I build across cognition, crypto, and code.

My background spans software engineering, data science, and UX. I care most about technology that's thoughtful, human-centered, and actually useful. I studied CS with a psych minor because I think the best software understands how people think.

When I'm not writing code, I'm probably reading, practicing yoga, or falling down a rabbit hole about anything from linguistics to philosophy to cognitive science.

You Don't Have to Understand Crypto to Believe In It

When I walked into ETHDenver last week, I had a clear expectation of what I would feel like: energized, curious, maybe a little in over my head but so excited that it wouldn't matter. I'm a CS grad with a strong technical foundation.
