About
I’m an engineer driven by the urge to build — not just scalable systems, but ideas that question norms and tools that quietly empower. My work spans fast-moving teams and complex architectures, but what I care about most is building at the intersection of code and compassion. I’m especially drawn to how technology shapes human behavior — and how AI might one day support addiction recovery, mental health, and equitable education. Above all, I believe engineering should be inclusive by design: thoughtful, humane, and built to serve those most often left out.
