Hey, I'm Izzy ✨

I'm a senior software engineer 👨🏻‍💻‍ based out of NYC. Previously, I've lived in San Francisco, worked at Google on YouTube Music, & studied computer science at MIT. Here's my resume.

Professional facts aside, here are some other things I love to do & talk about 😊

🎶 Music · Some of my favorite memories have been made at concerts with close friends. I can probably sing every word Frank Ocean has penned. I'm always exploring new artists' discographies; recently these have been Rosalía & Aphex Twin. Check out my small but growing vinyl collection!
✨ Learning new things · My most recent reads include On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, So You Want to Talk About Race, Waking Up, & the Red Rising series — I highly recommend all of 'em. I'm always down for a sobering (or not-so-sober) conversation about the latest in cosmology & space exploration. What's something you recently learned or discovered that you think more folks should know about?
⛰️ Exercise · Whether it's running around the city, discovering dope hiking spots around the Bay Area, or playing soccer (have been playing for over 20 years now!), I'm a huge fan of getting outside & breathing some fresh air. I recently had super fun first-time experiences backpacking & crayfishing.
