Software Engineer, Traveler, Builder & Collector
When I'm not architecting complex software systems, you'll likely find me exploring the globe - getting lost on a motorbike, eating dubious street food, or wondering how I ended up "here" 📍. I've traveled to over 50 countries, taking several sabbaticals to dive deep into international waters. Most recently, I was found exploring Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. I'm an avid hiker 🥾, with the beautiful landscapes of Patagonia 🏔 remaining my favorite. I balance that outdoor exploration with a dedicated exercise routine while making valiant attempts at eating healthy.
Beyond travel and fitness, I'm passionate about art, community, and culture. I've spent too many years participating in Burning Man 🔥, collaborating to build and organize immersive community camps. I'm an enthusiastic collector of vintage clothes 👕, always on the hunt for unique pieces from designers like Custo Barcelona. I'm also a passionate (but embarrassingly slow) reader 📖 — I most recently finished Demon Copperfield (5 stars!) and I'm a massive fan of imaginative authors like Neil Gaiman, Haruki Murakami, and David Mitchell.
Oh, and I'm a huge Seattle Seahawks fan 🏈. Go Hawks!
