May 2022 - Apr 2024

I built production grade web apps from scratch, everything from user dashboards and asset pages to the payment system using Stripe. I worked with Next.js on the frontend and Golang + gRPC on the backend, and used Docker to keep things easy to deploy.

IT Social @Chicago

Mar 2025 - Present

I host regular tech meetups in Chicago where I meet a ton of developers, product folks, and students. I usually greet people, introduce them around, and have some great tech convos. Everything from “What do you build?” to “Why are you switching careers?” It’s become my favorite way to stay connected and give back to the community.
