Summary

Multidisciplinary software engineer and technical leader with experience designing, building, and delivering digital products and platforms across startups, academic institutions, and nonprofit organizations.

My background spans hands-on engineering, platform modernization, technical leadership, and education. I have led cross-functional teams, architected multi-tenant and data-driven platforms, and supported computer science instruction in systems programming and information security. I am particularly interested in work that sits at the intersection of software engineering, product strategy, and real-world impact.
