About

I’m a software engineer passionate about fullstack engineering on the web, and I have a love for open source.

Background

I studied Computer Science at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ.

While I was in college, I interned at a bunch of places—Johnson & Johnson, IEEE, Codecademy, Mozilla, and Rackspace—which gave me a broad view of how different teams build and ship software.

After graduating, I joined Amazon, and later moved to Apple.

How I got started

I first got into programming after being invited to HackRU 2014 while I was in high school, where I built an excuse generator .

That project pulled me in, and over time I started building more things, learning by shipping and iterating.

Open source

I gradually got more involved in open source. One of my earlier projects was Materialize, a collection of themes for Sublime Text.

After that I started taking on bigger projects like zencuber, Lynt, proposals.es, and Resumake.

Outside of work

In my free time, I’m really into indoor gardening and caring for my plants. I’m also getting more into fitness, trying different restaurants, and gaming.

I also have a great love for the color green.
