About Me

I'm a software engineer who thrives at the intersection of technology and communication. With 6 years of experience building scalable backend systems at healthtech and fintech startups, I've led engineering initiatives that launched high-impact features used by millions.

What sets me apart is my ability to present live demos to stakeholders, translate complex technical concepts for cross-functional teams, and drive alignment that accelerates product adoption. I love roles that blend technical expertise with business impact.

I thrive in customer conversations—discovery, demos, and proofs‑of‑concept that build understanding and trust—while staying hands‑on with engineering.

When I'm not coding or demoing, you'll find me in Atlanta with my partner Savannah, exploring new places, new restaurants, and probably debating the best way to optimize something completely unnecessary.
