Accomplished Customer Support Engineer & Software Developer with a passion for solving complex technical problems and mentoring the next generation of coders.
From smoke-filled kitchens to cloud-based systems, I thrive in fast-paced environments where complex problems meet creative solutions. With a background that spans restaurant leadership, technical support at Atlassian, software engineering, and mentoring aspiring coders, I bring a unique blend of hands-on grit, technical expertise, and a passion for continuous learning.
I'm driven by a love for problem-solving and cracking tough technical challenges while also helping teams grow through curiosity and collaboration. Armed with a Computer Science degree and STEM Education minor from UC Berkeley, I'm excited to connect, create, and contribute to projects and teams that value innovation and growth as much as I do.
Thanks for stopping by! If you're inspired or just want to chat about tech, BBQ, or anything in between, let's connect. I'm always eager to collaborate and tackle new challenges!
