About Me

I'm a bay area resident, a graduate from Cal State East Bay with a BFA in Graphic Design. I've accumilated over 12 years of experience as a front end developer, web designer, and engineer. I enjoy every moment of coding, problem solving, and working with others. I enjoy challenges and strive to learn new web technology as it evolves.

When I'm not coding into the late hours of the night, I'm either swimming, biking, bowling, traveling, or sitting down with a good book and a cup of coffee.
