Hi there 👋
I’m a big fan of open source and building community, and try to regularly find opportunities to get involved. Aside from coding, I also enjoy designing, writing, speaking and illustrating. When I’m not getting lost in my browser tabs, I like to spend time outdoors, boulder and do aerial silks.
Currently, I'm a Software Engineer II @ Reshift Security
