Self-taught, can read/understand any code, but I'm seeking a Product-related role (dev advocate, associate product/project manager, etc.) Biz-degree, previously in Ads @ Google. Big surprise: I'm super interested in all the sexy stuff (crypto-economics, quant-health, VR, drones). Design-oriented user-focused mindset and understand distribution/monetization very well. Love playing with data-viz (d3.js). Boundless curiosity + enthusiasm -- super friendly and a great teammate in/out of office. Just returned from 5-months backpacking Southeast Asia. Cyclist. Consider me the glue that holds different teams, roles, and partners together. My only criteria: an awesome team and an ambitious vision; a place I can learn, grow, and work 150%. Say hello!

I'm a self-taught full-stack web developer and developmental neurobiologist. I'm ideally hoping to work in a data-intensive role to leverage my past research experiences (at Harvard) but am excited to contribute to solving hard problems in any role. Open to contract/short-term work as well as full-time positions. Hope to hear from you soon!
