Technical Program Manager by day. Indie iOS + web dev in the early mornings before the world wakes up. 18+ years wrangling software and content at scale, now building things I actually want to use.
I ship cozy, kawaii-influenced apps at the intersection of Japanese language, fan culture, and mobile-first UX for my cozy indie dev studio, MochiPixel LLC.
First-gen Vietnamese American, born a week after my parents landed after escaping with nothing from war-torn Vietnam. One mom, nine siblings, welfare, and a lot of figuring it out at the age of thirteen. Turns out that's excellent training for shipping software solo at 5am, between two kids, a hockey stick, a corporate 9-5, and whatever's left of the coffee.
