About me

After about 31 years of developing and after starting a career in development, my brain created a website about itself. That's awesome, thanks for coming!

For more context, one day I would like to build a house. I think that the importance of a house stretches beyond a shelter in the ways that it allows or encourages you to grow. It cultivates you in ways you intend for and some ways that you do not. It collects you and your journeys, showcasing where you are and where you've come from each time you enter. Similarly, I consider this a type of house. I hope that by creating this home, I both showcase my professional portfolio (one of my intentions) and stimulate my capacity to create.

Things I remind myself

  • Always take small opportunities to go one level deeper.
  • Practice with people who are better than you.
  • Make time for the people around you, and remember what’s important.
  • "You sure about that?”

    • Resume

    I’ve been learning WebGPU and WebGL tech, and used rendering my resume to practice. I opted for webgl over webgpu due to webgpu not widely supported yet. I wrote a post about it here
