Being a backend developer, I like to learn new technologies and frameworks to build all sorts of tools and applications. Check out some of my open-source projects on my GitHub.
I'm also what some may call a "Sneakerhead." I have a lifestyle brand, Clean Your Shoes, which focuses on sneaker maintenance + culture. Although I consider it a lifestyle brand, it really is the playground in which I work on and expand my various interests and hobbies.
Besides the code and sneakers, I also like . While I mostly shoot for fun, I have lent my "services" in various local shows, exhibits, and publications. I have an official Portfolio, but I also have a secret page hidden somewhere on this site, if you can find it!
Finally, I also like motorsports, sports in general, classic film + television, fashion, and travel.
