About Me

I am a Software Engineer who recently graduated from Drexel University with a B.S. in Software Engineering and a Minor in Finance. My background spans DevOps/cloud, AI data science, and full-stack development, developed through multiple engineering and systems roles in the Philadelphia area.

I am comfortable owning modern engineering initiatives end-to-end: from automated CI/CD and cloud infrastructure configurations to ETL/ML pipeline design and polished full-stack application delivery. I enjoy translating complex algorithmic logic and heavy datasets into fast, responsive user experiences.

My minor in finance, combined with high-impact work—such as building a production-grade AI search system for the Federal Reserve—gives me a unique, fintech- and quant-adjacent perspective. I look forward to applying this cross-functional skill set to build high-performance software engineering and platform systems.
