About Me

I’m a highly coachable junior Full Stack Developer and Data Engineer passionate about building innovative solutions and exploring the intersection of technology, creativity, and problem-solving. Growing up in Northfield, New Jersey, my interest in technology was sparked by a mentor who taught me to rebuild computers and break down complex systems. As a teenager, I worked alongside him in the radio room of the battleship New Jersey, where my job was to oil the teletype machines. This experience instilled an appreciation for the precision and maintenance required in complex systems—a mindset I bring to my work today. Later, I returned to school, attending the University of Arizona's Computer Science program for its rigorous focus on computer architecture and systems programming. In my capstone project, I built a Unix-like operating system from scratch, gaining a deep understanding of how computers function at their most basic level. This deep dive into computing systems gave me a comprehensive knowledge of everything from hardware interactions to high-level applications. During my academic journey, I tackled diverse technical projects, including designing persistent telnet connections, creating machine learning pipelines, and building efficient database systems. Through these experiences, I developed skills in Python, Java, SQL, Docker, and Agile methodologies, with a strong focus on delivering impactful, user-centered solutions. Recently, I led a "Coffee Talk" for Tucson psychologists about AI integration in their practice. The session provided a basic introduction to AI, covered HIPAA compliance risks, discussed appropriate use cases, and explored the emerging reality of AI companionship. This experience reflects my commitment to helping others navigate new technologies while maintaining professional standards. Adaptation and persistence define my journey—from mastering Vermont’s winters to thriving in Arizona’s deserts and navigating the fast-paced tech landscape. Each project has reinforced my belief that growth comes from resilience and curiosity. I’m excited to collaborate with teams that value innovation, intellectual curiosity, and continuous learning. Let’s connect to explore how we can build the future together.
