Here is a little background

Hi there! 👋🏼 I’m a Software and Machine Learning Engineer based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I started my journey at Drexel University, where I majored in Mechanical Engineering and took a co-op with the US Navy. It was there I first dipped my toes into the defense world and discovered my passion for contributing to our nation’s security.

After graduating, I joined Lockheed Martin to develop software for hypersonic and ballistic missiles—arguably one of the cooler job descriptions to put on a résumé. While there, I entered their Engineering Leadership Development Program, where I honed my skills, met some inspiring people, and on a whim (thanks, COVID!) decided to earn a master’s in Systems Engineering from Cornell—completing it in a year while working full-time.

Not long after, I realized I wanted to deepen my computer science knowledge and embarked on a second master’s at Georgia Tech, focusing on AI and ML, which I’m currently tackling online. Along the way, I’ve also become an avid runner, completing multiple marathons and half-marathons—because why not aim for a runner’s high in both career and fitness?

While I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working in the defense sector, I’m ready to step into new spaces and tackle fresh challenges. I’m passionate about solving complex problems, whether they involve code, machine learning, or just figuring out how to squeeze in a long run after debugging sessions.
