About

Engineer by training,
developer by practice.

I hold a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University and a B.A. in Physics from the University of Redlands. That background gave me a rigorous foundation in systems thinking, signal processing, and problem decomposition — tools I now apply to software.

I build across the stack: Python backends, cross-platform mobile apps, browser-based tooling, and AI-integrated systems. I care about writing code that is clean, purposeful, and ships.
