Profile

01

I’m on a mission to build products that meaningfully improve people’s lives and expand what humans are capable of.

I'm a software architect with 13 years building web and mobile platforms across investment banking, insurance, fin-tech, healthcare, and e-commerce. I work hands-on — from system architecture and product direction down to the code — alongside senior leadership and globally distributed teams.

I've led teams and pods at firms like BNY Mellon, Boston Consulting Group, Accenture, and IBM, shipping customer-facing banking flows, trading dashboards, wealth-management tooling, and full-stack cloud platforms. Lately I focus on cloud architecture on AWS and RAG systems built on the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs.
