I’m a software developer living in Chicago, IL.

I’ve been in the tech industry for over a decade now, mostly focused on backend development using Ruby on Rails. Currently building something new with the wonderful people at CompanyCam. Previously worked at Shopify, Basecamp, and a bunch of other places, including some early stage startups.

Aside from day jobs, the biggest joy of my career has been building my personal project, Pack Pal. I built the very first version of Pack Pal in 48 hours for the 2014 Rails Rumble hackathon. For that I won the Best Solo award and also won 4th place overall. Ten years later, I still work on it when I can find the time, and it absolutely makes my day when someone says they like it. :)

Outside of work I’m into interior design, minimalism, reading fiction and parenting books and exploring Chicago with my husband and our toddler.
