About
I'm a glass half full stack developer
a.k.a
Front-end Developer
Oyster expert turned coder. What do oysters have to do with coding? Well nothing, except that both reveal how rewarding it is to create an ultimately sublime experience for customers. That experience is most aptly manifested by achieving simplicity. I believe simplicity is the illusion we create when the complexities of a system are truly understood. I am proud that I contribute to incredible culinary experiences, but I would prefer to contribute to a better future. I believe code has put me on the path to achieving that dream.
