.hello
I came to engineering the long way — from trading desks to self-taught full-stack to a data science degree at the University of Chicago. These days I build the pipelines, APIs, and AI systems that turn research and data into software people can actually use. I like hard problems, messy real-world data, and shipping things that hold up.
