My story

Ever since I first laid my hands on a keyboard, I've been fascinated with the intersection of art and technology. After spending two decades in big tech and startups, I'm now in the second chapter of my career as an author and creative. These days, you can find me reading, writing, coding, and 3D printing with my family outside Boston. How I Hacked the Moon is my debut middle-grade novel.
