About Me

Creative software engineer based in Washington DC

I'm currently a software engineer at Wistia, a video tech company. I work remotely on a small team building a beginner-friendly video editor for marketers, educators, media companies, government, etc. I believe that tech and art teach us about the vastness of creation and I love working on team with similar values. I grew up navigating multiple languges (Quechua, Spanish, and English) since the day I was born and it's given fueled my ability to pick up new engineering languages in my career, and, at most times, it kept me grounded.
