Full Stack Web Developer
I'm a web developer and writer
Also these things: artist, web designer, francophile, coffee snob, improvisor, lousy stand-up comedy, uncle, activist, prep chef, aspiring set designer for Wes Anderson movies, french fry addict, guitarist, and over-thinker. I love doing new things. Sometimes I do new things, and then I never do them again. The things I really love doing, I keep doing, like eating french fries. Such is life.

See the websiteBlock
This app was designed for writers and creatives struggling with writer's block. With the help of my team we created three different kinds of writing exercises that are randomly generated. Users are meant to write at least 250 words within ten minutes. In the future we hope to add another main feature which allows writers to store their documents on the web so that other writers can pull copies down to edit and critique each other's work.
