🤖 engineer & tech lead

As an eight-year-old in the 90s, with my grandfather's mentorship and encouragement, I started learning how to program C++, quickly soon after beginning to learn how to build dynamic websites, back when JavaScript was a total nightmare. Since then, I have earned well over a decade of professional tech experience, including three years as Chief Technology Officer of a Y Combinator-backed startup, CrowdMed.

These days, I head up the tech side and write lore for projects at smol farm, an indie creative studio I cofounded, where we make things like games and digital collectibles.

📚 writer

Since a young age, I have also had a love of writing, both fiction and non. In 2017, I was featured in the New York Times talking about anti-trans harassment on Twitter. As part of smol farm, I am the lead writer of the smol farm gazette, a Substack which discusses everything from the technology to small-scale agriculture.

My debut novella, Xorientation, is coming in early 2025.
