senior software engineer · data nerd

By day, I work on the API and Delivery team at People Data Labs, helping power data products at scale. I have over a decade of full-stack experience with a strong focus on backend engineering. I've led complex projects, mentored teams, and built systems that translate business needs into reliable software. Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into Rust and Go while keeping my Python and JavaScript skills sharp.

I’m passionate about turning complexity into clarity through clean code, smart data, thoughtful architecture, and a focus on building tools that just work.
