I have 6 years of combined experience building distributed systems, secure applications, and machine learning infrastructure. I hold an MS in Computing Security and a BS in Software Engineering from the Rochester Institute of Technology.
A snapshot of the places I've built software.
Leading a 4-engineer team building distributed microservices on Kubernetes and AWS, shipping full-stack capabilities in Python and Rust.
Led development of real-time anomaly detection systems in Rust and Java, and drove adoption of containerization and DevSecOps.
Migrated the QuickBooks Online (2.3M users) backend to GraphQL and cut P90 latency from 20s to 200ms with predictive caching.
Patents and open source contributions from my professional work.
Systems and methods for reducing alert fatigue during operation of cyber-physical systems. Filed 2021 with MITRE, granted August 2025.
Generating test data as a service for use in testing software during software development. Filed 2020 with Intuit, granted 2020.
Contributor to the MITRE Engage Framework, an adversary engagement and denial platform, and to the Open Media Processing Framework.

Here are three of my personal projects.
A live webpage that calculates the statistical expected value of a lottery ticket from the two national lottery jackpots.
An interactive web application that solves Wordle puzzles using strategic word-guessing algorithms.
Worked on a small team, as part of CyberCorps at RIT, to research vulerabilities on popular commercial drones.
In 8th grade I started my own business soldering wires onto Xbox controllers. By forwarding the electrical signals from the LED on the controller to the trigger, you could shoot faster than any other player. This outside-the-box thinking is how I still like to approach problems today.
Professionally, I specialize in distributed systems, cybersecurity, and machine learning. I've led engineering teams, architected microservices on Kubernetes and AWS, built real-time anomaly detection engines in Rust, and shipped customer-driven product capabilities end-to-end. I'm a co-author on two granted U.S. patents and a contributor to open source frameworks including MITRE Engage.
Outside of work, I'm still drawn to tearing things apart and figuring out how they work. Whether it's a new language, a new protocol, or a new piece of hardware, learning how technology fits together is what keeps me going.
