My journey with programming began in 9th grade with the creation and public release of my first mobile app and the founding of my own business. In the following years, I became an Eagle Scout and graduated from Northeastern with honors. Professionally, I have built brand new communications protocols based on cutting-edge research from the ground up and saved companies millions of dollars by modernizing and rebuilding their internal technology. Through a career spanning half a dozen companies of different shapes and sizes, I've picked up specializations and expertise ranging from network engineering and full stack development, to database architecture, DevOps, cryptography, and more. In recent years, finally settled into role as a senior engineer with emphasis on project management, mentorship, and hands-on advanced technical implementation. I'm particularly proficient in general backend development, infrastructure as code, and building/working with databases.
