I've been using computers and understanding them at a pretty deep level since I was five years old. So when I got deep into Bitcoin and crypto in college and started digging into how things worked under the hood, none of the concepts were entirely new to me. That curiosity is what pushed me toward actually learning to program. I completed Codecademy's 30-hour intro to JS course, as well as their intro to HTML and CSS courses. I decided that I REALLY like programming, and I wanted to go all in on Web Development. I immediately applied as a Full-Time student to Lambda School's Full-Stack Web Developer and Computer Science program, and was accepted a couple of weeks later. Lambda School was very difficult, but it was very worth it.

Getting into Gauntlet was no joke. The requirements were intense: pass a LeetCode challenge,
have at least three years of professional experience, clear a behavioral interview, and
score 40+ out of 50 on the CCAT (Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test). I was definitely rusty,
and wasn't able to pass until I studied for 2 weeks straight!
The program itself was three weeks remote followed by seven weeks in Austin,
Texas—they flew me out and covered everything. It was all about building real products with
modern AI tools: Cursor, Claude, OpenAI APIs, OpenRouter APIs,
Replicate APIs, RAG systems, and agentic workflows. Several of the projects you see in my
portfolio came from participating in The Gauntlet. It sharpened my product sense, gave me
tons of experience green-fielding applications in fast iteration cycles, and showed me what
developers are REALLY capable of using the full power of AI (if you've only dabbled on the
side with Cursor or Claude Code, you have no idea!)

Five years at Lukka as a Front-End Engineer, working primarily in Angular with some React. I started as a junior and worked my way up to L3. Lukka is a crypto data company, so a lot of the work involved handling large volumes of asset data at scale.
Besides programming, I'm a PC enthusiast and a gamer. I hit Global Elite in CS:GO, which took upwards of 60 wins to get there. I hit Immortal 1 in Valorant twice, on two separate accounts, both in roughly 20-25 wins. I also peaked top 80k in osu!, which isn't the most impressive thing on this list but I'll take it. I also have four years of choir experience and still practice pretty often.
