Karate Instructor

"Be water, my friend" -  Bruce Lee

Being water is how live because it makes me adaptable, strong through persistence, and ultimately unbreakable. 

My large variety of experiences has put me in many uncomfortable and chaotic situations. The way I've handled them has built me into a technical nerd with charming people skills.

- Battled stage fright to performing karate in front of hundreds of people (and taking many 1st places)
- Cut from the varsity lacrosse team but coached losing youth teams into champions
- A global pandemic locked me in so I grew a new YouTube channel to 19.5K subscribers
- Not a designer but led a team to create a restaurant's online brand and identity
- I did not study coding and here I am working as a software engineer for a Fortune 500 company

It might be my ADHD but I thrive in chaos. The unknown excites me and I'm always looking for the thrill of how I'll beat the next big challenge.
