Hey, I'm Hawk (he/him).

I'm currently a UX Engineer building Visual Studio Code at Microsoft. I use design and code to help build one of the most beloved code editors on earth and represents a balance of the creative and technical that I deeply enjoy.

But like... who are you really?

Yes, yes. I have a job. Who am I outside of that? Well, partially the same.

Hey, I'm Hawk (he/him and short for Hawthorne). I live in New York City with my wife and our dog Poppy.

I also love watching/reading stories, have been learning/practicing music theory and guitar for almost 3 years, and am ... days into learning Spanish.

This website is built with Astro. I occasionally use Figma to design parts of this website and create imagery for it. But far more often I just design with code.

This site uses a few different fonts. Seravek for title and body content, Monaspace Neon for code snippets, and a tiny bit of italicized Georgia in blog posts.
