Hi 👋 I'm currently a full stack software engineer, but I originally come from a mechanical engineering background. I'm all about approaching my software work from a systems design perspective.

Aside from work, I'm really passionate about music and have been DJing since 2011. I'm also an avid runner preparing for the 2026 NYC Marathon.

Interested in my background and wanna set up a time to chat? Feel free to shoot me a DM here.
