Today
I’m a frontend engineer at Coinbase and the founder of FrontPrep. I like being close to both the design and the code. How an interface looks, how it feels, how it behaves.
For three years I mentored developers on MentorCruise. I built a plan for each person based on what they needed. I don’t take students anymore because I spend that time learning AI and the new tooling around it. I have also mentored junior engineers and interns at Coinbase, and I enjoy it.
I work out, play tennis, and invest.
