building something fun

TL;DR

I’m a software engineer with a passion for building and prototyping ideas.

With a background in philosophy and computer science, I enjoy tackling complex problems and exploring topics like metaphysics / ethics.

When I’m not coding, I like to travel, read, go hiking, and spend time with my dog, Chunky!
