Building robust back-end systems and full-stack solutions. Curious by nature, driven by craft.

About

I'm a software engineer with a B.S. in Computer Science from UMass Amherst. I'm passionate about back-end development, but I enjoy full-stack work too. I'm a curious individual who loves learning and applying knowledge to solve real-world problems.

Outside of code — swimming, playing music, and relaxing with video games.
