ABOUT ME

Product Wizard at ClassTracks / Fellow at Venture For America

Advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

I am a developer. I have strong interests in educational technologies, code literacy (and literacy in general), and startups. I primarily work on the backend but have frontend skills as well.

I am a writer. I am currently writing a science fiction novel. I have a blog that is mainly about tech though occasionally my life slips in there (or is it the other way around?). And I wrote my dorm's weekly newsletter the academic year of September 2012 through April 2013.

I am a self proclaimed efficiency expert. I am constantly looking for ways to speed up the unimportant things in life: like finding keys or getting ready in the morning: That way I can focus on the most important things in life: my friends and family, and my passions.
