Hi! I'm an artist, writer, and engineer living in NYC. I attended the Grace Hopper Program at Fullstack Academy from fall 2020 to winter 2021, completed a software engineering apprenticeship at Upstatement from spring 2021 to winter 2022, and now work as a software engineer for Civiqs.

I grew up allergic to the computer (but very into videogames), went to school for creative writing, and spent some time in New York's poetry and printmaking worlds. Around 2016, I decided I wanted to take all my experience with storytelling, visual art, and music and funnel it into designing games. So far, I've done two projects, Concrete World and RegExtris, using the Phaser.io game-making framework. Concrete World is my baby, my first foray into Phaser. It features my own hand-drawn art and pixel sprite animations. RegExtris, built with my friends from the Grace Hopper Program, is a Tetris clone that lets players practice and improve their RegEx skills. (It's way more fun than RegExr, I promise!)

Outside of coding, I love writing short stories, printmaking, finding cool anime/manga/games/music to absorb, and exploring the weird nooks and crannies of New York. I hope to meet more people who want to use coding to create strange and beautiful things!
