About

A quick snapshot

What I'm focused on and how I like to work.

I'm a full-stack developer with a B.S. in Computer Science & Data Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, now pursuing an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence there. I'm currently a Software Developer Intern at Intact Specialty Insurance Solutions and the Founding Software Developer at Konevo.

I enjoy taking ideas from concept to implementation, designing clean user experiences, writing maintainable code, and iterating based on feedback. I'm especially interested in full-stack development and applied AI, and I'm always looking to learn and improve through challenging projects.
