Hey there! I'm Trent, an engineer who is interested in hardware systems and new web technologies.

I'm originally from sunny Arizona 🏜️, but these days I'm living in New York City 🗽.

At Squarespace, I have the awesome role of being a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Team Lead of the Website Character team. It's a tight-knit group made up of equal part engineering and design. Together, we add trendy and unique design elements to the Squarespace website editor. Our goal? To help our customers create websites that truly reflect their story in a beautiful and captivating way!
