ABOUT ME
Product focused engineer with 7+ years of experience
Product focused engineer with 7+ years of experience

Product-focused Software Engineer who loves building clean, scalable systems that actually make life easier for people.

Currently obsessed with generative AI, infrastructure, and shipping fast without breaking everything.

I'm skilled in TypeScript, Python, React/Next.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. I’ve also been building a lot recently with AI, handling things like prompt engineering, data ingestion, vector storage, and semantic search.

I’ve led projects across fintech, marketing, and AI—from zero to MVP to live product. I'm big on end-to-end ownership, pragmatic code, and products that don’t just work but work well.

Off the clock, I enjoy writing.

Flask makes building API's in python a breeze. I like to compare Flask to Javascript's Express library because the let you be creative in how you want to structure things. With libraries like graphane, I build Graphql API's that scale to production.
