Maybe we’ve met in person. Maybe we’re good friends. Or maybe I’m just a stranger you happened to come across online. Either way, I’m glad you’re here.

Hi, I’m a cat mom, a low-key explorer, and a lifelong nerd with a degree in computer science. I currently work at Amazon Web Services and live in Seattle, Washington.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me wandering through nature, discovering quiet corners of the world, spending quality time with the people (and pets) I love, or working on my side projects.

Paraaki is my visual diary—a space where I capture the little things I’m grateful for and create something I can look back on in the years to come. I’m doing this for fun, but I hope it sparks a little joy for you, somehow.

Thanks for being here.
