A fierce combination of left-brained analysis and right-brained intuition.

My background includes a BFA in Graphic Design from Boston University and a Professional Webmaster Certificate from NC State, paired with a Software Engineering intensive from General Assembly. I'm currently pursuing my Master of Engineering in Computer Science part-time at Cornell Tech, deepening my expertise in machine learning, NLP, and product development.

I bring over a decade of experience building and scaling web platforms — from leading brand relaunches at Condé Nast to managing AI-powered product development at Kensho Technologies (S&P Global). I believe the best products emerge when engineering craft meets genuine empathy for the people using them.
