I'm a trained web developer and avid food photographer, originally from the Catskill region of Upstate New York. I moved to the Bay Area in California to attend Stanford University and received a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Human Biology.

Between graduation and now, I have worked as a web developer, lived in Japan for three years studying and working as an English teacher at a local high school, and received a Master's Degree in Organizational Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York City.

Recently, my web programming skills and interest in food have culminated in a job working as a front-end developer at Serious Eats, a James Beard award-winning food blog based in New York City. I also regularly take food photos for The Dinner Belle, a boutique NYC catering company specializing in custom menus and personalized events. Other website projects I've worked on can be found here.

If you have any photography or web development projects for which you need assistance, please feel free to contact me at maigochan at gmail dot com.
