BIO
I've worked across a variety of fields in my career including community management, quality assurance, backend engineering, product management, and now CEO of KiraKira Media. So I'm a bit of a jack of all trades which allows me to have a good understanding of how different types of systems work with each other and how to work in non-dev roles. In my personal life I'm a cat person with 2 of my own, a fan of anime/manga/film/games, non-alcoholic by choice, and like to go to comedy shows.
