About

I'm currently a Senior Software Engineer at Gigawatt.ai. In my role, I design and build scalable web AI-driven applications and backend services using AWS. As a senior software engineer, my focus is on building reliable, high-impact systems while mentoring junior engineers, driving technical direction, and maintaining a high bar for engineering quality.
Outside of my professional work, I design and build personal projects, which you can find in the section below. These efforts have provided hands-on experience with newer and emerging technologies.
When I am not working, I enjoy reading, fishing, cooking, and spending time with friends. I also have a wonderful german shepherd named Rex that always keeps me company. I am also a watch enthusiast, so if you enjoy learning about watches, we should definitely connect.
