Work
I lead development at Megaflora, a software studio I started to make high-quality, open source software. I recently attended the Recurse Center.
Previously, I was a senior software engineer at Beacons, a software engineering intern at Dendron, and a cofounder of Modern.fm.
I specialize in product engineering for web applications, where I can understand a problem deeply and implement a solution for it across the stack.

Beacons
I worked at Beacons, a startup that creates software to give creators one unified place to link to all of their content and secure brand deals. I worked across the stack across our creator-facing, manager-facing, and public-facing features.
During my time at Beacons, I worked on essentially every product and team. I implemented a number of high-impact features, refactors, and overhauls. Here are a few highlights:
- I served as one of two growth engineers, working on the full funnel of growth experimentation. I rapidly proposed, tested, and evaluated growth experiments. The year our team was around, Beacons tripled its ARR.
- I wrote the first commit of our migration to TypeScript. Throughout the process, I created documentation, delegated tasks, and tackled the most complicated generics we had. I helped see through our migration of 100k+ lines of code.
- I meaningfully improved the frontend codebase and user experience throughout my time at Beacons. Due to this self-driven frontend platform work, I had a solo team created to allow me to better tackle essential frontend architecture and overhaul our platform UX. I was the lead of our component library, and worked incredibly closely with the design team to create the best experience posisble for design, engineering, and users.
Dendron
A previous software development internship, I worked with the startup Dendron to create a better knowledge management tool.
Over three months, I redesigned and rebuilt the graph view, one of the core ways to visualize notes and schemas within Dendron. The graph can handle tens of thousands of notes, and supports a variety of custom filters and styles.
Throughout my time at Dendron, I actively participated in community discussion. This included implementing community requests, responding to feedback, and providing support for the graph view.
Modern.fm
A joint venture with two other co-founders, I lead development on this music sample marketplace. We create custom and pre-made sample packs for music producers of all levels.
In my time with Modern.fm, I have built out the entirety of the frontend and backend architecture. This includes a robust custom order system, a sample pack marketplace, and a landing page for weekly pack giveaways. The site features a number of automated processes to better manage and sustain the business.
