About
I am a software engineer with experience in both front- and backend development and a background in design. My skills lend me a thorough understanding of the process of building and maintaining a website, and I am always eager to learn new skills and improve on what I know.
Side Projects
I regularly update my personal website as I learn and experiment with new types of code. My site currently features a simple drawing tool implemented with p5.js.
