$ cat about.md

I enjoy helping developers spend less time fighting tools and more time building. My background spans chemistry, software engineering, open source, and scientific computing, and I enjoy turning complex technical ideas into practical tools, educational content, and better developer experiences.

My path into software has been anything but traditional. Scientific research taught me to question assumptions, design thoughtful experiments, and communicate evidence clearly. Today, I apply those same principles to developer tooling, interactive computing, AI, and open source. Whether I'm building applications, contributing code, speaking at conferences, or exploring data, I'm most interested in understanding where developers experience friction and how we can make software more intuitive, reliable, and enjoyable to use.
