I like trying things.

I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 2024 with a Bachelor's degree in Information Systems and Business Administration. I started college studying business, found my way into technology through my first programming class, and have been following that thread ever since.

After college, I moved to San Francisco for Entrepreneur First's SF24 cohort. I spent that period testing ideas, meeting new people, and learning what it means to have agency over your thoughts and actions. I was not a software engineer, I had no clue what starting a company entailed, and I was generally way in over my head — but that experience was exactly what I needed to grow and learn more about myself.

I later joined Palantir as a Forward Deployed Engineer, where I worked with large hospital systems and fleet operations teams. That experience shaped how I think about software: the best engineering work starts with understanding the actual problem, not just the technical surface area around it.

I'm now back in San Francisco working as a product-focused FDE at Vapi, building out the most configurable interface for voice agents in the world. I'm trying to stay close to work that feels consequential — building, learning, writing, and doing hard things for their own sake.
