Maybe we know each other. Maybe we’re friends. Or maybe you’re just passing through. Either way, I’m glad you’re here.

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

Paraaki is my visual diary — a creative outlet where I collect the moments and experiences I’m grateful for as I move through life. I’m also saving the memories I share with my love, JJ, so we can look back on them in the years ahead.  

This is mostly just for fun and for me, but I hope it brings you a little joy or inspiration along the way.

Thanks for being here.
