About
When I was 13 years old, I taught myself HTML and CSS so I could tweak Tumblr themes, and I’ve been hooked up web development ever since, developing a deep love for JavaScript. I cut my teeth on jQuery, learned all the modern web is possible of with React, and now I focus on the static site generator, Astro.
I’m passionate about building sites with lightweight code, lightning-fast performance, and accessible design. A pet interest of mine is exploring finite state machines for managing application state.
I am proud to have been the front-end developer for Blue Voter Guide—a 100% volunteer-run grassroots organization that that has helped millions of progressive voters plan their ballots for elections at every level in every state in the US.
These days, I’m a freelancer, focusing on building small blogging sites to support small creatives.

As a developer, my focus is largely on the front-end (especially the JAMstack) but I’m comfortable working with:
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript (Vanilla, jQuery, React and React Native, the JAMstack)
- Static Site Generators (Astro.js, Eleventy)
- PHP
- MySQL
- C, C++, C#
- Java
- Python
…and I can learn anything!
I’m currently a Computer Science student at the University of Houston, graduating in 2025.
When I’m not making websites, I can be found making soups or reading about the Gilded Age.
