Founder and Software Engineer

Been in big tech and in startups, but I prefer to help startups build impressive technology.

Experienced in LLMs, Python, Cloud and SIEM development

I attended Drexel, studying psychology and neuroscience with a focus on the biological basis of human behavior.

In my spare time, I enjoy poker, being in the mountains, and a very good smoothie.
