About Me
I am a language professional and front-end developer. My background in translation has given me an approach to problem solving that is both systematic and creative. When I started building websites I was interested in design and layout. After becoming familiar with Wordpress, I began to dive deeper into customizing themes and plugins, which lead to my current interest in coding and full-stack development.

Sometimes I write things. I’ve written artist artist profiles for Visual Arts News. For a few years one of my hobbies was writing ramen restaurant reviews for the now sadly defunct Bento Box Magazine .
