Software engineer in San Francisco. Marathon runner. Crossword addict. Michigan alum. Boston sports fan in exile.
About
I didn't set out to be an engineer — but halfway through college, I found out that chasing down why something's broken is weirdly satisfying. I've gained a real appreciation for code's ability to show you results in real time. Unlike most things in life, code tells you whether you're right almost immediately, and it turns out you can build a whole career around that feeling of getting it right.
But I also spend plenty of time not writing code. Here's some other stuff I've been into lately:
