A Bit About Me
A short glimpse into where I started, where I'm going, and what I'm passionate about.
From Bartending to Building
Based in Long Island, NY, my journey into programming began in 2017 while I was working as a bartender.
It all started with tinkering around with Python and Java, leading to my very first project: a tip-out
calculator for my fellow bartenders. The program calculated each bartender’s and barback’s share of
the total tips — a simple idea, but one that sparked my passion for coding.
From there, I dove into the core web development stack, building a solid foundation. Over time, I honed
my skills further, specializing in React and Next.js, and turning my curiosity into a career I love.
Web Dev + Community
Since starting my journey in web development, I’ve had the privilege of working at some amazing companies,
building professional websites that truly make an impact. Along the way, I’ve met incredible people in the
tech community, regularly attending meetups in NYC to exchange ideas and grow my skills.
Through this career, I’ve discovered not only my passion for creating exceptional web experiences,
but also a deep connection to the vibrant, creative community that fuels it.
On a personal note, 2024 was a milestone year for me — I married the love of my life,
making this journey even more meaningful. 😊
My Interests
My interests span across the creative and analytical — I love playing the guitar, reading short stories (especially from the Russian greats like Chekhov and Dostoyevsky), and watching Tarantino films. You’ll also often find me building small apps and tools that make everyday life easier — I just enjoy creating things that solve real problems.
