about-img

I write code on stage in front of a crowd.

I’ve always introduced myself as a developer, designer, and lover of tech. I am those things, but also much more. I’m more than a limited character count and a filtered photo to be found in the void of social media.

I’m a digital creator, an artist, a problem solver, a creative, a public speaker, a designer, an illustrator, a presentation guru, a storyteller, a listener, a photographer, a teacher, and a lifetime student. I’m an environmentalist. A mental health advocate. I support equal rights and income equality. I believe in reducing consumerism, globalization, and our carbon footprint. I’m a Texan with anti-Texas views. I believe in living in the present moment.

I am Taiwanese/Italian and proud of my ethnicity. Taiwan 🇹🇼 is my second home.

I have a passion for traveling and seeing all parts of the world. I like watching basketball and combat sports. I love food, you can always find me at restaurants around town. I like trying new things but I’m risk averse.

There’s still more to me than these things. Contact me to learn more.

He was able to show his early leadership of the dev group and really surprised our program partners with his thoroughness and attention to detail.
