I’m a user-centered frontend developer with a focus on web accessibility. I’m passionate about building an equitable, inclusive web for all, and about sharing what I learn along the way. In addition to accessibility, ask me about UX, web performance, and internationalization! By day, I’m a senior frontend engineer for Confluent (previously, Microsoft Learn and USAA Bank). By night, you’re likely to find me immersed in tabletop roleplaying games or checking out the local theater scene.

I used to host Some Antics, a weekly livestream where I brought on guests from around the web development and web design industries to teach me something about building great experiences for the web in a hands-on way, with a focus on accessibility and core web technologies.
