Hi! I'm Evan. I'm working at Lyft as a software engineer, starting September 2017. Until then, I'm hanging out in New York trying to write and perform a lot of music, and maybe make a website or two.
People who make music and people who need websites: get in touch!

ProjectsAfter helping organize Columbia's biggest hackathon for a few years, this year I designed and developed the website from scratch.
In January 2016, I designed and taught a week-long beginner web development course for JADE, an immersive program for 16 first-year Columbia and Barnard students interested in app development and entrepreneurship.
An award-winning fall 2015 HackNY project: uses the Clarifai API to tag popular images from Imgur and then uses NLTK to generate titles for Buzzfeed-style listicles, like These 23 Cute Mammals Will Make You Go Wow.
In my compilers class, I worked on a team of five to build QL, a query language for JSON. Using data from CitiBike and Fitbit, we were able to make some interesting programs with our language—like finding the average speed of CitiBike users and showing that my stride length is longest on weekends.
I've always loved teaching! Columbia tends to focus on the theoretical side of CS rather than industry skills, so giving talks is a great way to share practical knowledge with other talented programmers.
