about me

. . . the way I look at it, if it's not a little scary, then it's not the right choice. Failure is always an option.

I’m a software engineer working for Etsy.

I do frontend engineering, backend engineering, iPhone development, and graphic design. And no, I’m not looking for a job :).

I graduated from Wesleyan University in 2010 with a Computer Science major and tons of art classs (see my resume).

I spent the Summer of ’09 working as an intern at Meetup.com in New York doing mobile and iPhone application development.

I spent the Summer of ’08 as an intern at Yahoo!'s data group, developing internal web applications.
