I'm an Astoria-based software engineer and artist. I put together a night-time monthly tech-meetup in Astoria. My work intertwines technology with artistic expression, and outside of it, I delve into yoga, meditation, and spirituality, particularly Buddhism. Driven by socialist values, and I'm exploring worker-owned cooperatives with my projects Memboko and ladybugs.work, aspiring to make a meaningful impact through my engineering skills.
