product engineer
early engineer at a startup building privileged access management infrastructure for the zero standing privilege era, the part of cloud security that decides who gets access to what, and for how long.
an engineer formerly in physical AI, keeping drones and surgical robots well-behaved in regulated spaces, currently cloud security infrastructure. still thinking about safety-critical systems. also into fieldwork, animal welfare, partner dance, outdoor adventures, and brewing an endless stream of ideas that probably need their own project board. always open to collaborating.

AI x Animals Fellow
fellow at AI x Animals, an 8-week program at the intersection of AI development and animal welfare, covering precision livestock farming, machine learning for animal communication, and how to steer AI toward animal-positive outcomes.
robotics software engineer, product usability and robotics
early engineer at a startup building Focalist, the first FDA-cleared handheld robot for ultrasound-guided needle procedures. Led integration with imaging vendors, architected safety-critical system checks, and implemented a robust fault notification workflow now used by clinicians in hospital settings.
software engineer, on-vehicle software and simulation
worked on autonomous drone systems: from contingency behaviors and health monitoring to fail-safe landings, obstacle avoidance, and BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) operation. contributed to technical work and validation for the FAA certification that enabled Prime Air's first commercial deliveries.
software engineer intern, experimentation platform
built an internal A/B experimentation analytics dashboard at Twilio that cut experiment feedback time from weeks to 30 seconds. started with user interviews to build prototypes and end up with something they actually wanted to use.
machine learning engineer intern
Developed machine learning models for Department of Defense application with classified data handling protocols.
software and systems engineer intern
built firmware tooling and automated validation tests for the now FDA approved Willow wearable breast pump. a fully in-bra, app-connected device now used by hundreds of thousands of mothers.
education
bachelor of engineer in computer engineering
bachelor of arts in engineering
