About■

I write software. I have strong interests in frontend engineering with my art background, but I'm usually doing fullstack roles to maximize shareholder value. I currently work for Ivo, a startup in San Francisco powering legal technologies.

I had a pivot in my career plans around senior year of high school when I realized that while teaching kids was very fun, it didn't make me enough to have my own in this economy. I loved helping students build TNT machine guns in Minecraft, then trolling them by blowing them up early with commands. Good times.

Art is a late blooming passion for me. I started drawing sometime around 2020 when I got my first iPad to join my art friends doing Inktober. I think I would've probably stopped doing art if I didn't throw myself into an art contest for osu! in 2021 and get competitive about it because I only got 50th place. Eventually in 2023, I got my first place finish and Redside reached out about using my illustration for his song, which led to me joining the osu! World Cup design team later in the year. I drew for about 30 musicians in total during that time period before gradually shifting my focus to web design in 2026.

I got introduced to osu! by my high school friend Rijrya playing it during science class. But because our desks were too small to fling a mouse around in class, I opted into playing the non-standard modes which only required a keyboard. Out of these modes I liked playing catch the most and quickly grinded to top 100 during COVID. I am retired from tournament play now, but my biggest achievements were winning the 4th iteration of the Canada Catch Cup and getting fourth in the 2024 osu!catch World Cup.
