I ship fast, keep things maintainable, and love combining AI/ML with solid product instincts.
I'm a Software Quality Engineer at Apple, where I get to work on the carrier services that power iPhone activation. I recently graduated from Ohio State (CSE, Dec 2025) and love shipping production systems—I've had the chance to do that at Amazon and London Computer Systems, focusing on automation and scalable architecture.
At Apple, I test and automate carrier onboarding workflows for iPhone. Before that, at Amazon, I automated catalog systems managing 13,000+ items with 60% efficiency gains. At LCS, I built REST APIs serving 100,000+ users. I'm passionate about AI/ML—I've developed AI-powered apps with LangChain, led 20+ engineers as ESW President, and had a blast winning multiple J.P. Morgan hackathons.
