about

I studied Film Criticism and Critical Theory at Wesleyan, and I have a background in fine arts, visual design, code, and writing. I'm a problem-solver by nature and am excited by tackling complex problems in ambiguous problem spaces. I love learning and I care deeply about quality.

Lately, I have been having fun messing around with various coding side projects:

• a visual timer Mac app (SwiftUI) with a frivolous and wildly unnecessary color customization panel
• a constantly-evolving custom to do list/organization tool for myself (Supabase, Next.js, React, Shadcn, Tailwind)
• this website (Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Vercel)

Outside of work, I love reading books^↗ and watching movies^↗, with a preference for films at the high and low ends of the quality spectrum. Occasionally I write about them. Here's a film review I wrote for the Brooklyn Rail^↗.

What else? I love my apartment^↗ dearly. I have a rotating sushi carousel of obsessions. Recent fixations include: my CD player^↗, Andy Kaufman^↗, dots^↗, Elvis Presley^↗ (this one is still going strong), collecting images of my personal icons and their dogs^↗. A while ago I got pretty into dremeling numbers on my belongings^↗. I'm very inspired by Dieter Rams and Naoto Fukasawa. I work in tech so I can afford Vitsoe shelving. I am a lover of material goods with a long eBay purchase history. I have no known allergies and can solve any spot-the-difference puzzle within ten seconds.
