Hello!
I was born in Rhinelander WI, and grew up in Duluth MN and Fort Collins CO. Outdoor activities such as skiing and mountain biking are my passions. I am a commissioned artist and love to paint in my spare time. I now live in Chicago IL with my cat June. I enjoy performing improv and sketch comedy at several theaters around the city.
I specialize in front-end development. My strongest areas are React (js/tsx) and python. I love creative computing and visualizations as well, so Processing and p5.js are really engaging to me. I prioritize using sound technical code to create a valuable end product for the user. I care about feeling connected to those I work with and those I am coding for!
Since 2021 I have been working in the conservation space. I am fortunate to work with really inspiring people from all over the world that are utilizing technology to help reduce Human Wildlife Conflict, strengthen security in protected wildlife areas, and improve wildlife research & tracking capabilities.
