When I saw my first "making of," I fell in love with the art of filmmaking, and visual storytelling in particular. In 2009 and 2010 I studied Filmmaking and Screenwriting at the New York Film Academy. While attending Cornell Unversity I took two semesters of Screenwriting with Austin Bunn, who wrote films like Kill Your Darlings, and I also taught Screenwriting Workshops for the Cornell Film Club. Ever since, I've been building a portfolio of feature scripts.
In the Historical Drama When Children Play (previously Colors), a young girl from the post-civil war South secretly befriends an African American boy by teaching him how to read and write, but years later their special bond is tested by their different backgrounds and her tyrannical father - a Ku Klux Klanhead.
Honors include:
In the Drama Heart of a Lyon, a college professor with a heart ailment meets his terminally ill heart-donor for a lifesaving transplant - but his savior comes with a peculiar request and some secret baggage of his own. (I'm also working on turning this story into a novel)
Honors include:
In the Indie Drama Oxbury Heights, a talented and beautiful but flat-broke young painter sells her genes to a wealthy Evolutionary Rationalist with an extended family of children from different gifted mothers, but she soon finds out that even perfect families come with dark secrets. (first draft: June 2014)
Honors include:
In the Crime Thriller Hedge, a team of elite bank robbers teams up with a robotics expert and a world-renowned hacker to rob a Wall-Street Hedge Fund in the the most sophisticated heist of the 21st century. (work in progress)
In the Roadtrip Comedy Take Two, a failed entrepreneur, his stoner buddy, a homeless drifter, and Cooper the Great Dane take a roadtrip of epic proportions in their made-from-scrap minivan, to make it to Nerdfest on time. (work in progress)

I was introduced to programming and web development when I started at Cornell University. As an Economics and Information Science double major I enjoyed a highly varied education, but I was especially drawn to technical Computer Science and Web Development classes - I started gaining the majority of my experience through my own side projects.
After graduating, I accepted a Software Engineering position at Wayfair.com in Boston. Having previously built web based tools for the Warehouse Management System as an intern, I joined the Mobile Team, where I primarily worked on the Joss & Main, Wayfair, and AllModern apps for iPhone and iPad.
Since then I've worked on a number of different apps, including the Blossom app for booking VIP dinner dates for two. Go check it out!
I also wrote, published and maintain the Multi-Screen.js plugin for jQuery (used on this site).

Being romantic can be difficult. Like getting that special candlelit table in the corner, champagne on ice ready to toast when you arrive, custom printed menus with a message from the chef. Restaurants are willing to provide romantic experiences with special treatment at extra cost, but customers need an "in" to arrange these things.
That's why my co-founder Alex Yu and I created the Blossom app, which lets couples discover and book exclusive two-person dinner date experiences in an easy way.
Don't stress over that upcoming anniversary or birthday, just browse around tailored date experiences on offer by the premier restaurants in your area and book a great date with a few simple taps. Feel like a VIP with the special treatment you get, and focus on each other and your date instead of distractions like the bill.
Life is about experiences. Ready for a great date? Visit blossomdate.com.
