* About Me *
I like figuring out how things work, and then how to make them work better. I am a curious, enterprising individual who enjoys solving problems big and small, usually by building and optimizing systems.
I typically gravitate towards start ups (maybe I have a need to feel needed??), and often work across the tech stack as a product-minded engineer. I am a Washington, DC native and a graduate of New York University and California Polytechnic State University, with a thesis in Natural Language Processing. My latest pursuits are in the realm of MLOps and text to image generation.
In addition to being a senior software engineer, I am a software consultant at a number of organizations. I provide discounted and pro bono services to nonprofits and NGOs needing software services.
From increasing efficiency, productivity, and awareness, I believe software, if used ethically, can move us towards a better future, and I hope to build tools to help move us there.
Will you join me?
