About Me

I'm a software engineer with a background in business and as a practicing attorney. That experience helped me develop a strong foundation in analysis, precision, and strategic problem-solving while working in complex, high-stakes environments.

Today, I bring that mindset to engineering, solving technical challenges with a focus on building clean, efficient, and impactful software.

Most recently, I co-created Nimbus, an open-source deployment framework that simplifies getting lightweight NLP models into production.

If you're interested, I authored an in-depth technical case study exploring the system design, engineering decisions, and challenges behind the project.
