More Than Just Code

A glimpse into my life outside of the editor, my passions, and how to get in touch.

My Background

I grew up fascinated by how things work, which led me from dismantling old electronics to building my first websites. My journey into tech was driven by a desire to not just build, but to solve real-world problems for real people.

This path has taught me the importance of empathy in design, the power of collaboration, and the thrill of seeing a complex project come to life. When I am not working, I'm usually exploring new ideas, whether that's through a book, a conversation, trying out new tools, or even exploring the Central Coast.
