About me

Full-stack, platform, and AI-minded engineer building systems that scale from product UX to infrastructure

I'm a full-stack software engineer with a BSE in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering from Duke University. My work spans product-facing web applications, backend services, cloud infrastructure, and data-heavy systems — with a particular interest in healthcare, developer experience, and AI-enabled workflows.

I like problems at the intersection of architecture and execution: designing APIs, shaping platform capabilities, modernizing delivery workflows, and turning ambiguous ideas into shipped software.

This site is my space for self-expression. It is a space to share what I've learned with the world. My digital garden 🌱. It will always be organically grown content, free from AI writing and sponsored posts.
