02 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE CODE

Curious by default.
Practical by design.

I’ve spent ten years building software across healthcare, robotics, and computer vision. I like working across the whole product: understanding the problem, designing the system, and getting the details right for the people using it.

My work combines hands-on engineering with product judgment. I’m also finishing my Master’s in Analytics at Georgia Tech, in the Computational Data Analytics track.
