A bit about me
Software engineer & designer in Brooklyn, NY. I mostly build front-ends, and lately a lot of maps.
I started designing and building for the web in high school. Photoshop turned into HTML and I never went back. These days I write mostly TypeScript and Vue, and I spend a lot of my free time on maps.
I like front-end work because you can see the result. I've built a labor management platform, a cat facts API that people still use, and a navigation app built on open data.
Outside of work I ride my bike, play piano, edit OpenStreetMap, and go to city council meetings.

Client-side development
This is what I do best. Front-end web development has always been what I have considered my best skill. Vue is my home ground, though I have shipped production work in Svelte and contributed to React codebases, and the fundamentals underneath them all matter more to me than the framework on top.
