Hi! I'm John! 👋

I love building products.

Currently unemployed.
Previously did UX Design.

about me

I started my career doing design for a bunch of startups, but over time my interests shifted to doing more product-oriented work like UX research and early stage startup validation and most recently AI.

Yet no matter what I do, I keep coming back to my roots in design: building products for users, solving real problems and making people's lives easier.

I'm fresh out of college with a CS degree looking to explore ways to expand my skillset and work on cool stuff.

On the side, I do community, keep my 700 day Duolingo streak alive, and grind poker from my bedroom.
