Experienced Software Engineer & Collaborator

As a versatile Staff Software Engineer, I have recently focused on pioneering AI-driven solutions to address real-world challenges. Over the last year, I've been deeply immersed in building and optimizing Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions, as well as contributing to the development of a consumer-facing mobile AI app. This journey has involved deeply understanding LLMs, vector embeddings, and retrieval strategies and developing innovative features to enhance consumer applications.

Before this, my career journey led me through impactful roles at Recur, Auth0, and Circle. At Recur, I contributed to building applications for renowned brands, integrating advanced features and driving significant growth.

During my tenure at Auth0 and Circle, I honed my skills in identity and security products, led Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) efforts, and contributed to significant Risk and Compliance projects. These experiences cultivated strong communication, collaboration, and presentation skills, which have been invaluable in navigating the evolving landscape of technology.

With a Bachelor's degree in International Politics and a self-taught expertise in probability, statistics, and calculus, I continuously sharpen my skills in algorithms, data structures, and modern technologies. My diverse background and foundation uniquely equip me to make substantial contributions across engineering teams and stacks.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I cherish time with my family, indulge in bouldering and rock climbing adventures, and nurture a fascination with amateur meteorology. As a former competitive powerlifter, I thrive on embracing new challenges and mentoring aspiring software engineers embarking on their career journeys.

Excelling in remote work environments, I'm adept at fostering efficiency within distributed teams. Armed with a robust toolkit spanning technologies such as LLMs, RAG architecture, React, NextJS, TypeScript, AWS, and a commitment to continuous learning, I am grateful to have the opportunity to innovate at the forefront of new technology!
