About
I build meaningful digital experiences that help people connect with information and ideas.
My path into computing began while I was doing field work for a local non-profit in Southeast Asia. Working alongside communities and organizations there gave me a clearer view of both the importance and the limits of short-term, on-the-ground interventions.
Over time, I became more aware of how access to technology shaped visibility and longer-term outcomes, especially in places with uneven resources. That perspective shifted how I thought about impact and scale.
I began learning to program as a way to engage with those questions differently. Today, my work sits at the intersection of software, design, and systems thinking, informed by earlier experience in human rights research.
