About 🧑💻
I'm a software engineer specializing in React, TypeScript, Python, MongoDB, and AWS. I currently work at Pangea Lab, a clinical diagnostics company, where I’ve driven operational efficiency by automating workflows and building robust platforms. I’m seeking opportunities with post-seed to Series C startups, ideally within small-to-mid-sized teams (10–30 engineers) with a focus on creating products or services that enhance lives while preserving our humanness. Open to remote or hybrid roles, preferably based in New York City.

Interests 🌱
I like to read and take photos. My latest reads were The War Below by Ernest Scheyder, The Singularity Is Nearer: When We Merge with AI by Ray Kurzweil, and Exhalation by Ted Chiang. I use a Sony a6000 and an iPhone 14 Pro to document my life.
Day to day, I enjoy reading my print of The Wall Street Journal, creating new matcha latte recipes, and working on side projects, in tech and non-tech. In terms of tech, NextJS, Shadcn, NestJS, D3, and Observable are my current obsessions.
