I'm a full-stack web developer living in Portland, OR. I build beautiful, responsive websites & web applications with accessibility & SEO in mind
As a developer, I build semantically-structured full-stack solutions to increase productivity & improve organization in personal & professional contexts. I have extensive knowledge of the hospitality & non-profit sectors from years of experience in client-facing & leadership roles. I'm passionate about community, ethical tech, & sustainability. When I'm not coding, I'm probably out for a walk or a bike ride, writing, or hanging out with my cat Phoebe.
