I'm a product designer currently at Facebook designing analytic and reporting tools that help businesses improve their return on investment of time and money.
I'm passionate about the intersection of design, technology, and business. It is here where we can solve problems with sustainable products. That's why I attended the University of Maryland where I studied
Product Design & Software Innovation ― a major that I designed to combine design thinking, computer science, and business.
Before Facebook, I worked at a handful of startups. I interned as a product designer at
Bread ― a fintech startup changing consumer financing. I was a director at
Startup Shell ― a student-run incubator for student-run startups at UMD. I worked on Passenger, a company I co-founded with my brother to
improve the commuting experience. I worked at
Slide as a design and front-end intern primarily doing iOS development. I also was a founding student of
Make School where I learned iOS and web development and helped shape a project-based learning experience for future students. You can download my resume
here (last updated in 2018).
In my free time, I like to explore different hobbies. Currently,
I'm learning how to skateboard. I'm also learning about the gaming industry, virtual worlds, and the metaverse. And I'm an avid gamer. Challenge me in Super Smash Bros., Fortnite, or Blokus.
