About

I'm a software engineer at the University of Rochester studying Computer Science and Business Information Systems.

I enjoy building software that solves real business and operational problems. Most of my recent work has been around AI, backend engineering, distributed systems, and Institutional Knowledge Intelligence.

At Franklin Templeton, I worked on financial process automation and built a platform for capturing and retrieving institutional knowledge. I've also contributed to open source AI infrastructure through MemVerge and currently lead the engineering work behind Foundly, where we're building technology for lost property recovery across aviation.
