Behind the Computer
who am I?
I am authentically myself - overtly ambitious, partly sarcastic, and perpetually caffeinated. Most importantly...
I lead with love.
Complimenting a dope earring that my barista is wearing.
Buying a matching smiski for my coworker because she mentioned wanting one before.
Offering to hold the door for a person who is still 30 feet away and awkwardly holding eye contact because it's too late to go back now.
My whyLife is beautiful because it's impermanent. It's fragile and fleeting — and love is how we weave color into our daily lives through the work we do, the attitude we manifest, and the smiles we share.
Love fuels everything I do. My goal is simple: to leave the world better than I found it — for those I love, and for the family I hope to raise. And I believe software can spark change far beyond what I could ever do alone.
It stems from my roots...
I'm the youngest of two older brothers and the son of immigrant parents who paved the way for me to grow and thrive. Each of them faced hardship, yet met life's toughest moments with purpose.
They've taught me many things -- but what stayed with me most is ambition rooted in kindness. Love your family. Love your friends. Love what you do. And when you feel lost, lead with love. Let it guide you through hard work, passion, and pain. Above all, be the kind of person younger Martin would look up to.
