Get Started

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! This is where I document my path: projects, work, and the journey that got me here.

I'm currently working as an Integration Engineer at Lyft. I hold a Master's in Computer Science from San José State University and have previously built experience at Atlassian and Micro Focus. I'm highly interested in Software Engineering, Machine Learning, and Enterprise Systems, and I love diving into new technologies across the CS landscape.
