Figma is a powerful design tool that allows designers to create, collaborate, and share designs in real-time. The fact is that it's an industry standard, and with me being part designer/part engineer, I think it's time I get more comfortable with it.

I was invited to speak on the Free Code Camp Podcast, where I discussed my journey into software development and the importance of building a strong foundation in computer science.

I was lucky enough to be invited to speak at the Vercel NYC meetup, however, I only had a couple of days to prepare. Thankfully, Vercel's Geist is a great source of inspiration and I was able to put together a talk about creating an essential design system.
