I ship fast, keep things maintainable, and love pairing AI/ML with solid product instincts.
I'm a Software Quality Engineer at Apple, working on carrier services that power iPhone activation. I graduated from Ohio State (CSE, Dec 2025) and have shipped production systems at Amazon and London Computer Systems with a focus on automation and scalable architecture.
At Apple, I test and automate carrier onboarding workflows for iPhone. Previously 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've also developed AI-powered apps with LangChain, led 20+ engineers as ESW President, and won multiple J.P. Morgan hackathons.
