So I'm a full stack application developer of the MERN stack. Coming from a job where I helped teach the bootcamp at UC Berkeley Extension and a Ai/cryptography startup who hopes to one day be a unicorn. I moved Phoenix, Az from San Francisco, Ca in January 2026 after a stint in Bangkok, Thailand. I'm excited to finally start learning Salesforce software!
