Bio

I’m a Software Engineer and Researcher. I hope to help build better software for people to bring their ideas to life, and to help improve the experience of our interactions with the BOTS (AI).

I am a generalist and care deeply about systems, that form the basis of our applications; and how we use and live with computers that are all around us. More than anything, I love to build things.

Previously, worked at Rhino, Leafly, Andela, Expresspay, HousingAnywhere & PetraTrust.

My other interests include: Theoretical Computer Science, Programming Languages, reading and all kinds of sports.
