• I am a 🧑‍💻 full stack web engineer.
• I love to plan and 👨‍🍳 cook elaborate meals. It really activates the engineering part of my brain!
• I have a 🤓 non-traditional computer science education. I attended a vocational school in high school, taught myself web programming, bounced around colleges for computer science while working the entire time before deciding to go pro!
• I am a Vim user but I actively encourage everyone to use something else. Using Vim in 2023 is a cool bar trick.
• I currently live in 📍 Astoria, Queens. I didn't think I would settle down in Queens and love it as much as I do, but life is like that sometimes.
• I have a 😼 fat cat named Fonzie and I sorta have a tattoo of him on my arm.

• 🌞 My days start at 9am eastern and end at 6pm-ish. I get in the zone in the afternoon/evening.
• 👋 I'm completely fine with being distracted at any time. I'm really good at context switching and it actually gives me energy.
• 🌎 Tell me the context on why something should be done. I will "yes, and" whenever I can.
• 💼 Tell me the business case about what I'm working on, either now or in the near future. I will kick around and meditate on ideas that are sometimes good.
• 🐈‍⬛ I am intensely curious about how and why things work. If you wanna go deep on something we're talking about, I won't stop you, and I will probably do the same.
• 🔥 I can, at times, come in with a hot take when it's something I've been thinking a lot about.
• 🎵 I love new music recommendations and love to share if it's appreciated. I have been scrobbling to Last.fm since 2009.

💿 Album Mode.party: Spotify kept recommending me music too similar to what I already liked so I made an application that recommends me random albums using their search APIs and scraped reviews from various publications. This is the first application I have made that I use daily.

🥳 eligundry.com: Personal sites are my version of a Zen Garden. They are also a great way to learn how to use new frameworks relevant to my job.
