Answer: soapy

The cilantro “soap gene” is no joke: roughly 4% to 14% of Americans carry a genetic variant that makes them especially sensitive to certain natural compounds in cilantro, causing it to taste distinctly soapy or bitter instead of bright and citrusy

How do YOU feel about cilantro?

I'm a full stack developer with a focus on interactive web applications. My work lives at the intersection of language, logic, and interface design — which is why word games and text-processing tools have become my specialty.

I enjoy working on both the client and server side, building systems that feel fast, reliable, and intuitive. Every project I ship is carefully considered from architecture to animation.

When I'm not coding, I'm probably solving a crossword or reading about linguistics.
