// about me

I build mission-critical infrastructure for the most ambitious engineering problems I can find. My dad ran a technology solutions business, and growing up I watched him wear every technical hat imaginable. Seeing what was possible when you engineered your own tools left a lasting mark on me. I have been pursuing that level of ownership and scale ever since.

I studied Computer Science at the University of Florida with a minor in Electrical Engineering. Outside the classroom, I focused heavily on applied AI: deploying neural networks for automated COVID-19 detection in retail environments and leveraging AlphaFold2 for cancer protein structure prediction. By graduation, I knew exactly the technical velocity I wanted to surround myself with.

I began my career at Amazon as a software engineer on Alexa AI, architecting model deployment pipelines at global scale. When large language models fundamentally realigned the tech landscape, I transitioned to Amazon AGI. I helped engineer the infrastructure that powers the Amazon Nova model family, contributing to everything from multi-modal inference engines to high-throughput pre-training data pipelines.

Most recently, I joined Amazon Leo (formerly Project Kuiper) as a founding software engineer on the Launch Operations team. I designed and deployed the telemetry platforms that track and verify satellite avionics health from the factory floor directly out to the launch pad. It is a high-stakes, zero-tolerance environment architected to support an eventual 7,736-satellite orbital constellation. What began with just my manager and me quickly scaled into an eight-person engineering org within twelve months. Currently, I build foundational AI tooling and agent-driven workflows for Launch Operations. I design modular agent packages, codebase steering rules, and S3-backed RAG knowledge bases to accelerate engineering velocity and automate real-time operational triage.

My domain focus has continuously evolved across consumer voice assistants, foundational LLM training systems, and orbital launch logistics. Regardless of the architecture, my core motivation remains unchanged: I want to build resilient systems that matter, alongside engineers who deeply care about their craft.

Outside of my IDE, I am an automotive enthusiast with a strong preference for American muscle. I drive a manual Dodge Challenger Hellcat and a Hummer H2. Both vehicles are finished in bright yellow, matching the exact color scheme of the portfolio you are reading right now. When I am away from a keyboard, I train for endurance cycling rides, go running, and spend downtime with my dog, Rocky.
