❀ About


I'm a software engineer with 10 years of experience designing, building, and automating enterprise-scale systems across financial services — from mainframe-to-cloud migrations to full-stack platforms. Currently a Software Engineer and Assistant Vice President at U.S. Bank.

I led GitHub Copilot adoption across our engineering org and care deeply about every layer I touch — production C# and cloud infrastructure, modern React, and the new frontier of AI-assisted development. If it's interesting, I'm all in.
