Software engineer building systems that put people first.
I blend development, design, and responsible AI with curiosity, clarity, and care.

📦 Published npm package | GitHub

Open-source CLI toolkit solving the chaos of ungoverned AI tools across engineering teams. Provides standardized prompt management, contribution workflows, and accountability frameworks for responsible AI use.

Built collaboratively with Claude to dogfood the exact developer-first AI principles the toolkit promotes.

Tech: TypeScript, Nx monorepo, Commander.js, Inquirer.js, Jest
Impact: Enables teams to discover, version, and govern AI tools from a single source of truth

Software Engineer | Advice Platforms | June 2021 - Present

Impact & Delivery:

• Architected and deployed cloud-based data solution enabling decommissioning of legacy DB2 table - advancing key milestone in department's data modernization initiative
• Took ownership of final 15% of critical full-stack internal enrollment capability, ensuring on-time deployment through cross-team collaboration

Testing & Developer Experience:

• Built E2E testing automation pipeline (GitHub Actions + Cypress + AWS Lambda) reducing manual QA from hours to under 3 minutes
• Serve as team Testing Practitioner - maintaining test suites (Cypress, Playwright, Cucumber, Jest) and coaching team on emerging strategies

Technical Breadth:

• Develop micro frontends with Angular, TypeScript, Nx, and Module Federation
• Build backend services with NestJS, Java, Spring Boot, and AWS

Innovation:

• Prototyped Responsible AI Hub, pitched to leadership, now contributing governance framework to existing AI platforms

Focus areas: Developer experience • Testing strategy • Responsible AI • System design

GitHub repo documenting my entire learning journey from bootcamp to production engineer.

What started as handwritten notebooks with question marks in margins became a comprehensive knowledge base covering Angular, React, AWS, testing strategies, responsible AI, and everything in between.

Highlights:

• The Archives: 34 pages of digitized bootcamp notes showing the learning journey
• Production topics: Nx monorepos, Module Federation, GitHub Actions, AWS Lambda
• Creative explanations: Like explaining null vs undefined through a toilet paper meme
• Real-world application: Concepts that directly informed building Human-in-the-Loop

Why it matters: Shows continuous learning mindset, ability to teach complex concepts, and commitment to documentation as a core engineering practice.

• Contributor to Responsible AI Institute working group on governance and standards
• Writer at Medium covering responsible AI, developer culture, and field notes through Dispatch №13 series
• Culture coordinator at Vanguard's Philly office (co-led $250k fundraiser through company-wide hoodie design contest)

• Ex-bartender who invested life savings in coding bootcamp during covid lockdown and got an offer at Vanguard day of graduation
  
• Foodie who believes the best conversations happen over good food (and best ideas spark from great snacks)
  
• Design nerd (DePaul Media & Design grad) who brings visual thinking to technical problems
  
• Music lover everything spanning hip-hop to doo-wop
  
• Sci-fi reader pondering the future we're building
  
• Creative technologist who sees code as craft
  

I bring structure to chaos, energy to meetings, and intention to process improvements. Known for making teams stronger through collaboration, not just code.

Lived in six countries: Taiwan, Latvia, Czech Republic, England, Scotland, and Poland.
Originally from Chicago, currently in Philadelphia.

That global perspective shapes how I think about building inclusive, human-centered technology.

Some of my earliest memories are sharing Chicago dogs with my dad at Gene & Jude's (no ketchup allowed). Years later, I carved a hot dog block print for my college capstone. The logo you see now is an AI-simplified version of that original print.

It's a symbol of nostalgia, connection, and continuity - a reminder that while AI can refine creativity, the spark, the story, the deeply human part, always comes first.

Build with care. Ship with purpose.
