I’m Richard — a software engineer with a passion for thoughtful design, clean code, and the kind of user experiences that just feel right.
With 10+ years of frontend experience, I’ve helped SaaS startups scale from scrappy to stable. Currently working at Kixie, in Santa Monica, CA. I’m also pursuing my master’s in Computer Science — because curiosity never quits.
Years working in the Tech Industry
Software Engineering
Lifelong Learner
I’m currently pursuing a master’s degree in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, specializing in AI. My mission is to keep learning, building, and exploring how intelligent systems can make software more human, helpful, and creative.
I see technology as a tool for empowerment. Whether it’s a beautifully crafted interface or an AI-powered workflow, I aim to build things that feel intuitive, performant, and purposeful.
The principles that shape how I build, collaborate, and grow — as an engineer, a teammate, and a human.
I’m driven by a desire to understand — from how users think to how systems behave. I approach engineering with a learner’s mindset and a willingness to explore the unknown.
I value honest, human connection in teams. I work best with people who communicate openly, respect each other’s differences, and aren’t afraid to be themselves.
Frontend development is my medium for creativity. I love building interfaces that are both beautiful and functional — thoughtful experiences that reflect care and intention.
I care about the long-term effects of the things I build. I aim to create software that not only works well but does right by the people who use it — with empathy, honesty, and purpose.
