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 decided to dive deeper into computer science, starting a second master’s at Georgia Tech with a focus on AI and ML. Balancing studies with life, I’ve also taken up running—thanks in part to my girlfriend’s support—and have knocked out a few marathons and half-marathons along the way. It’s been a journey of pacing myself, whether I’m on the road or tackling new challenges in tech.

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.
