About

I’m currently a Software Engineer at Databricks in Seattle. I am an infrastructure tinkerer in the intersection of distributed systems and artificial intelligence. I enjoy optimizing complex systems for reliability and speed. I spend a lot of time thinking about AI and developer tooling.

I’ve worked in the past at Google, Facebook, and Zillow. Previously, I studied Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Outside of work, I enjoy running 🏃‍♂️, spending time in nature 🏔️, cooking 🍳, writing ✍️, reading 📚, and, as of recently, flying 🛩️.
