I try and get devs excited about Mux. I think the web is pretty neat!

I'm a Community Engineer at Mux, which means I work on making a great developer experience with great code, great docs, great posts, and great talks

Fun fact about me, I actually like writing CSS. Weird, huh?

I went to school for Computer Engineering, thinking I'd end up writing assembly or something for some low-level hardware. After that scared the bejeebies out of me, I ran away as fast as I could, as far as I could, to the web, where I found a home.

When my dad asked me about why I ended up in web development, I told him that it's a lot like the deck that he built in his back yard. It's building a space that serves a practical use. But it's also more than that. It's also thinking about how the user will move through that space, from beginning to destination. Also how that space will fulfill its purpose without getting in the way. How the user will enjoy that space. The details that will delight them. How that space will work for all the different kinds of people who will interact with it.

Lately, I've been realizing that the skills I learned in web development work in developer experience and community engineering, too. Designing a user journey through docs or a talk or a blog post? It's a lot like designing a user journey through a website. I'm proudly building these all of these at Mux as a Senior Community Engineer.
