I'm currently building Finty, a new personalized finance tracker.

I enjoy building software that simplifies complex problems and makes technology feel natural to use. I like to create tools that help people work, think, and live more effectively.

To that end, I am a generalist that approaches systems from first principles, understanding systems at their core to shape how we build and live with computers all around us.
