about me
Hi there. I am currently a fullstack software engineer at SendGrid, a communications infrastructure company. As a minority in the tech field, I highly value diversity and inclusion.I recently graduated in three years (2014-2017) from the University of Denver with a BS in Computer Science and minors in Mathematics and German Language & Literature.
In my free time, I enjoy artistic endeavours such as drawing and painting. You can find my artistic portfolio here.
