About Me
Frontend Software Engineer with 7+ years experience in web development using modern technologies and frameworks. Based in New York, NY, I specialize in converting UX/UI designs into responsive web interfaces. As a self-taught, highly driven developer, I combine technical expertise with strong soft skills and leadership experience.
A Little About Me
When I'm not coding, you'll find me at a local chess club, watching football, or searching for NYC's best pizza spots. With a unique background including 12 years in the film industry and 4 years as a standup comedian, I bring a creative perspective to tech. Ask me about the time I ran an "underground" cooking competition!
