I'm a software engineer and researcher drawn to problems that sit at the intersection of scale and responsibility. Over the past few years I've: ▸ Shipped a Google Summer of Code API now used by the OpenStreetMap community I move comfortably across the whole stack, from React/Next.js front-ends to FastAPI services, cloud infrastructure, and the ML models in between. Focus right now: Responsible AI, algorithmic fairness, geospatial data systems, and full-stack microservices. I care about systems that are not just fast and scalable, but accountable. When I'm not building, I'm reading, traveling somewhere new, or lost in a logic puzzle or a quant-finance rabbit hole. An introvert who's genuinely easy to talk to, so say hi. |

I'm actively looking for full-time Software Engineering, AI/ML, and Full-Stack roles starting in 2026. Let's talk
- Research Assistant at UIC's Urban Transportation Center, building Freight Toolkit, a regional freight analytics dashboard spanning 285+ Chicago municipalities (FTA FERSC initiative).
- Completed Google Summer of Code 2025: a Temporary Road Closures API and database adopted by the OpenStreetMap Foundation.
- Shipping production ML systems: MLOps serving with drift-gated retraining (GalaxyServe), a Kubernetes GitOps platform (GalaxyOps), and a Dagster transit lakehouse (TransitLake).
- Researching responsible AI and algorithmic fairness, with a fairness-debugging tool accepted at ASE 2026.
