01 / ABOUT ME

Engineering with
purpose and perspective.

I'm a full-stack software engineer who enjoys solving challenging technical problems and creating software that feels effortless to use.

At IRU, I work on data-intensive systems that support enterprise-scale vulnerability analytics and remediation. My work spans backend architecture, event-driven processing, PostgreSQL optimization, and React applications.

I've led cross-team technical initiatives, improved critical API performance, and helped establish agentic development workflows for my engineering team.

Previously at Markforged, I helped modernize customer-facing applications using React and TypeScript. My background in product ownership and UX also shapes how I approach engineering decisions.
