hello! i'm william

i build human-centered tools for users and programmers. usually this manifests in front-end engineering, ux research and ui design, and developer tooling.

i'm a graduate of UC San Diego with a B.S. in Computer Science and in Cognitive Science (2023), and a M.S. (also from UCSD) in Computer Science w/ specialization in Design (2024).

my interests lie at the intersection of human-computer interaction, software development, and programming languages.
