I’m a software engineer at Vanta, where I help our customers run their audit fast and with confidence. Before that, I worked at CloseFactor improving how sales teams operated, and before that at Amazon I kept planes in the sky.

I’m always building things for fun. My current project is RecipePT, an AI app that generates any recipe you can imagine without the need for the authors life story. Check it out here (sorry android users): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/recipept/id6450139064.
