I build backend systems, distributed computing infrastructure, and applied machine learning pipelines. I pick things up quickly and go deep, whether that's mastering a new codebase or becoming a go-to resource on a complex domain.

I'm a software engineer with a background spanning backend systems, distributed computing, and applied machine learning. I thrive in environments where there's a lot to learn, I pick things up quickly and go deep, whether that's mastering a new codebase or becoming a go-to resource for the team on a complex domain.
Outside of software, I volunteer as an associate editor for a community-focused philosophy journal. I'm drawn to independent study across mathematics, philosophy, and computer science, and bring that same curiosity into my technical work.
