About

I'm a chef turned web-developer based in downtown Toronto. My passion for building web-applications stems from my creativity within kitchens and my innate desire to learn new concepts and add new tools to my tech pantry. I find excitement in creating new or re-factoring current code to brighten user experiences and add inclusivity with responsive design, similar to developing a seasonal menu to showcase local ingredients! Fuelled by my curious mind and probably way too many espressos, you can often find me nose-deep in learning new techniques and growing my knowledge to stay up to date with modern tech trends.

Being able to connect and network with collaborators, trailblazers, and innovative, like-minded individuals is something that I look forward to as I am always up for a new adventures and collaborations!
