ABOUT ME
Senior Engineer who loves to garden, above and below the water!
Senior Engineer who loves to garden, above and below the water!

I'm a software engineer experienced in building webapps used by millions of users each day. I've had the pleasure of working across many teams, and most recently built Niantic's flagship social app: Campfire!

Along the way, I've received mentorship from my leads and I believe that's contributed the most in my growth as an engineer. I've mentored lots of engineers at the places I've had the pleasure to work at, and I love doing it!

I look forward to connecting with you!

A simple reminder + to-do app. Create tasks, organize them into groupings, and remind yourself about them in the future. We built this in 3 weeks, before deciding to sunset the product. But I still enjoy using it for myself, so I created an offline version of it.
