About
I'm a student in Portland, Oregon and the developer of Flashcards with Friends. I enjoy building open-source apps and utilities, 3D modeling, and full-stack development. I'm especially interested in lightweight, scalable cloud platforms that don't depend on legacy tools or specific operating system versions or chip types. I also work in IT management, cloud engineering, and DevOps.
