About

Software engineer with experience building production-grade systems across startups and enterprise — backend, system design, and applied machine learning.

I'm a Brooklyn College CS graduate who's been building production-grade software across startups and enterprise. My background spans backend development, system design, and applied machine learning — with a focus on scalable architectures, AI-powered products, and data-driven iteration.

I've founded an AI startup, built serverless automation pipelines that eliminated 90% of manual processing at an enterprise org, and trained computer vision models for real-time mobile inference. My stack runs from Python and Go on the backend to React, Next.js, and Swift on the frontend — always choosing the right tool for the problem.

What drives me is the full product loop — understanding the problem, designing the architecture, writing the code, polishing the experience, and shipping it. I bring startup energy to everything I build, whether it's a personal project or a client deliverable.
