Building connected systems that make complex work simpler.

I’m a software engineer with six years of experience across backend systems, cloud platforms, data engineering, and AI integrations.

My work connects applications, moves data between systems, and automates the steps that slow people down. I bring an engineering mindset and an accounting and finance background to understanding how technology fits into the way an organization works.
