About

I'm a web engineer at Hack Club. I try to make responsive user experiences for the backend workflows that our operations team uses every day. I like to use Next.js and Tailwind, although use Ruby and Bass at work. I'm a big fan of accessibility and always make sure front-end code adheres to WCAG.

Speaking

2022
San Francisco, California

In this workshop, we designed a personal website with Figma. This was intended for beginners and everybody created a design that taught important tools like the shape tool, position tools, and flex-box utilities.

2022
San Francisco, California

In this workshop, we created a personal website with Next.js and Tailwind. This workshop was intended for coders who knew basic HTML and wanted to learn Next.js, but a lot of attendees were beginners so this lasted ~2hrs because we had to start with the basics. Two hackathon teams remixed this workshop to make their project. Co-taught with Jaden Yu.

2021
Los Angeles, California

Doing workshops remotely on Zoom is extremely difficult. There was no final project in this workshop and instead was targeted at teaching CSS Flexbox and Grid to attendees who were learning web design and wanted to integrate these technologies into their site. Although a lot of (virtual) bottlenecks, attendees learned how to make a responsive website using Tailwind CSS.

2021
San Antonio, Texas

I talked about how git works and how beginners can use it. This was for kids in middle school and they finished the workshop with a git repository with pushed code. Linked are the slides made on MDX.

Exhibitions

Designed and created activities for the AutoAuto station and taught kids Python and Machine Learning with RC cars. Lead a group of 5 volunteers from a data science bootcamp (CodeUp) to help me engage kids that visited our station.
