I'm Staff Developer Experience (DX) Engineer who is passionate about helping empower people solve problems in their communities through tooling and education.
I'm a psychologist turned developer, educator, and speaker based in the Washington, D.C. area. Previously, I've worked with teams of various sizes and industries such as Google, Netlify, GitLab, and POLITICO.
Before I entered the world of tech professionally, I always found myself drawn to how people worked and how to make them more efficient. That led me to studying Industrial-Organizational Psychology (I/O Psych) in grad school and working in different industries for a while. However, my love for tech and coding from when I was a kid would find its way back in my life and spark an endless adventure of learning.
It's hard to remember a world where I wasn't obsessed with productivity. Whether it be the latest todo methodology or note-taking app, I love learning about how we can work better. For the past few years, I've been exploring the intersection of productivity and philosophy and spending a lot of time in Obsidian .
Throughout my life I've always loved trying new hobbies and learning about what other people love. Aside from the usual culprits of gaming and food, some of my serious hobbies have included go (baduk), mahjong, and pickleball!
