About Me

Building digital products with passion and precision.

Hello! I'm Alex, a software developer based in San Francisco. I enjoy creating things that live on the internet, whether that be websites, applications, or anything in between.

My interest in web development started back in 2015 when I decided to try editing custom Tumblr themes — turns out hacking together a custom reblog button taught me a lot about HTML & CSS!

Fast-forward to today, and I've had the privilege of working at a start-up, a large corporation, and a design agency. My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences.

Technologies I work with:

  • JavaScript
  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Next.js
  • Node.js
  • Python
  • PostgreSQL
  • Tailwind CSS
