I build full-stack stuff™ using Node.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python. I'm familiar with databases like PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
I'm currently really interested in learning lower-level languages such as Rust and Elixir.
I'm the founder of Yoki. I'm also a Teaching & Research Assistant at University at Buffalo. Previously a Software Engineer Intern at Mirage Security & Fiveable.
