I'm a full-stack engineer. Most of what I build is for regular people: tools that help folks stay safe, learn something new, or keep their community running.
I'm open to full-time software engineering roles, especially in civic tech, education, or community platforms.

⚡ Fun fact: Handshape's logo is the ASL "I love you" sign, which is I, L, and Y signed at once. Those three also turned out to be some of the hardest letters for the camera to tell apart.
