Life learner, and explorer. I'm on a mission to accumulate as many varied experiences & skills as I can. I've traveled through many parts of the world from trekking in the Amazon Rainforest, to being a personal photographer for a Haitian senator.

Currently based in Brooklyn where I'm cooking & road biking around the city. I work for a software company that allows me to work from anywhere in the world. I'm in NYC for the warmer parts of the year, then traveling for the winter months.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made huge contributions for a software platform that's helping 1% of all children around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Coding would probably be the best thing I could teach considering that I've been doing it since I was 12. I also love to cook -- like really try and use raw ingredients to make everything (I mill my own wheat). I could probably teach a thing or two about making fresh pasta, cheeses, pickling, techniques, and other things about cooking & food.
