About Me

I'm a full stack javascript developer with experience in data gathering and front end development. In the past i worked at a startup called enchanted diamonds, participated in the beyond coding program, and the startup weekend hackathon. I love using interesting libraries, APIs, and I love collaborating with passionate developers. I am always interested in tackling difficult problems.
I am also very interested in generative art, and making fun and thought provoking apps
for the web that can push the genre forward. Augmented reality and artificial intelligence are some of the types of generative art i like. I love finding new ways to use artificial intelligence for style transfer. Along with using libraries like tracking js for simple augmented reality apps.
