Grew up in the Bay Area, only a few blocks away from the original Apple campus.
Was a bit too young during the hayday of hackathons, but didn't want to miss it. In high school, I snuck into collegiate hackathons nearby since most only allowed kids above 18.
Started by building iOS apps. Got the opportunity to attend WWDC three times as a scholar.
Learned to adult in Boy Scouts. Spent two weeks in New Mexico backpacking nearly a hundred miles. I'm an Eagle Scout.
