Developer Relations at Qualcomm
Making complex developer tools approachable, observable, and human.
I live at the intersection of community, code and content. Most of my work is some version of the same problem: taking something technically complicated and making it easier to understand, build with, or care about.
Outside of that, I write about developer experience, open source, edge AI, and whatever technical rabbit hole I’m currently stuck in. I also collect an entirely reasonable number of keyboards, build random side projects, pester stray cats, and travel disproportionately often for someone who claims to enjoy staying home.
If our interests overlap, I’d love to compare notes.
