SUMMARY
 
Short version: I have a passion for emerging technologies. I analyze. Put both to- 
gether and you have a tech analyst. 

Slightly longer version: After graduating with my engineering degree from Cal Poly 
San Luis Obispo, I chose a career in web technologies and applications. I’ve excelled 
at all roles I’ve held; with that I have a unique, broad, and analytical view of the Silicon 
Valley, having worked all across it. I am currently looking for positions at non-profits, 
social media, or other emerging tech companies.
