I build things with a range of engineering experience and an appetite for growth.

I am a software engineer passionate about developing things with tangible benefit to others. Work done in service of my peers or end users excites me the most.

Currently, I am building Tailord - an interactive AI-powered representative that advocates for job-seekers by tailoring their experience for potential employers.

I previously spent 5+ years at Microsoft, developing software in the Azure IoT (Internet of Things) division. I got the opportunity to wear many different hats and grow my skillset from Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps to SaaS engineering and more.

In my spare time, I love attending live music, cycling through creative hobbies, and finding new outlets to apply my engineering experience. I would love to throw together a small browser game in the not so distant future.
