about 🤔
I am a software engineer at Flexport where I help build scalable and performant services that make global trade super easy. Prior to that, I was at Intel working on performance optimization and benchmark analytics. Outside of my day job, I spend a lot of time thinking about DEI and the need for equity in Computer Science education.
I am a proud alum of UC Davis (go ags! 🐮) Currently, I serve on the educational advisory board for the computer science department there. Towards the latter half of my time at Davis, I focused on computing education under Joel Porquet-Lupine. I founded a seminar on computing education, co-created an open source course titled the missing cs class.
