About
BIO
I identify as all of the following: Violinist, Software Engineer, (ex) neuroscience grad student at Boston University. I love playing classical music, going out for culinary adventures, and building web apps!
Currently based in Boston, Massachusetts.
PERSONAL STORY
My first exposure to Python was in college in 2021. I started writing data analysis scripts and scientific code, then got into web development in 2024. What I love the most about software engineering is the art of finding that sweet balance of constraint and creativity.
My most recent full-stack project is URTEXT, a blogging platform for classical musicians.
I'm also the lead frontend developer at @Pcuro, a B2B procurement marketplace where I build the UI/UX workflows that help buyers and suppliers run competitive RFQ processes.
