I currently live in Los Angeles (CA), and I’m loving the weather, the vicinity to the beach, the fantastic fruits & vegetables I’m able to obtain here, and the slower pace overall. I’m a software engineer and I take pride in my profession. I believe engineering is a form of art, when done right.

I value usability and simplicity in my products. I believe 80% of the work is in the planning. I value experience, wisdom, patience, and a growth mindset. I love working with people who are humble, and yet highly motivated. I love pushing the envelope. I love diving into the details, and I love explaining concepts on whiteboards. I love diagraming, even to myself when I sit alone and learn a concept or plan a new architecture for the next big thing I’m building. Planning everything out on a whiteboard step by step has a way of distilling concepts, elucidating the mechanisms, and helping the individuals achieve a plan of action.

I love working with people, as challenging as it can sometimes be. Working with others helps all parties involved grow. This is something I learned early on when I managed my first team of engineers. I think working with a great team of individuals is a privilege few people get to enjoy in their lifetimes. Finally, I love helping others fulfill their dreams and vision; If you think I can help you in any way, please reach out and if I have the time and the resources, I will definitely try!
