• Hello there. For me, photography reveals how you see. I started taking pictures about 6 years ago and fell in love with the craft. My mom was the person who inspired me after she shared her joy (and skill) in photography with me over the years. I dedicate a lot of my down time to going out and shooting: I think it's important to always get your reps in, as I'm in constant pursuit of learning how to cross technicality with creativity. Some of my favorite things to shoot are cityscapes/architecture and landscapes. I've also recently been exploring the thrill of street photography with a Fujifilm X-T5; most of the time otherwise, I'm usually shooting with my Canon R5.
• Outside of photography, you'll find me at my job as a software engineer at Lattice. I'm fullstack, but frontend-focused (of course!). I also play video games on my PC, typically RPG and FPS games, like Valorant. I've been gaming nearly my entire life, started at age 2. Playing piano is also a great way for me to decompress; technically I'm on an electronic keyboard, because you know, apartment life. But at least it never goes out of tune! Some of my favorite composers are Chopin, Rachmaninov, Beethoven, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, and Ravel.
• I'm available for freelance work, just contact me. I can craft your website, do a photoshoot, or build you a liquid-cooled gaming PC.
• I'm based in Cambridge, MA and studied Computer Science and Engineering (Course 6-3) at MIT.

Web Dev Languages & Frameworks

My go-to stack is generally React, Node.js, and either MySQL or MongoDB depending on the application needs. I host all of my apps on AWS.

I care a lot about performance, code modularity, fault tolerance, and security. I've lectured and run a workshop at MIT about Redux and React Native, back when Redux was still relevant. The web development landscape changes rapidly and that's partially what makes it fun.

Here are some of the technologies that I use on a regular basis, some of which I consider myself proficient in:
