I'm a software engineer based in Brooklyn, NY, with a decade of industry experience. Most of this experience has been in the fintech sector, and I've worked up and down the proverbial stack throughout my career.
Currently I work on the Financial Platform team at Chime, building a new backbone for financial services for millions of Americans. Before that, I worked at Plaid and Quovo.
In my spare time, I like to cook 🍳, lift weights 🏋️♂️, do crossword puzzles ✏️ (and aspire to construct them), hang out in Prospect Park 🍃, sit contemplatively with a cup of coffee ☕️, and do grassroots political organizing 🌹.

My middle name starts with F. No web3 bullshit, please.
I pronounce my last name like the English word "bars" (IPA: /bɑrz/). I use he/him pronouns.
Pardon the incomplete websi
