Software engineer based in the Los Angeles area.
I have two kids who I enjoy spending time with. I love music, traveling, food, reading, and exploring.
Here are a few relevant links for finding out more about me and my hobbies.

I don’t code in my free time as much as I used to, but it’s mostly on
display under by GitHub account.

I like to read, and I keep track of books I’ve read here, including

The StoryGraph.

I have a handful of playlists, and I listen to a LOT of music.

skills. I used WaniKani regularly for learning and review and also
participated in the community from time to time.
読書メーター
When I have the energy to read in Japanese, I track it on my profile at bookmeter.
exercism.io profile
When I want to tackle some smaller coding problems or practice a

I haven’t been blogging for some time now, but I used to post stuff on
Medium.

This is the best oatmeal pancake recipe I’ve found, but swap in whole
