I'm a software engineer based in Boston and a Staff Platform Engineer at Articulate, where I build agentic-first Infrastructure and Platform.

I like understanding how things work, where they fail, and what tradeoffs get hidden by the happy path. That usually leads me toward distributed systems, databases, and the linux kernel.

I care just as much about how technology shapes people as how it scales. I'm drawn to thoughtful work on accessibility, engineering culture, AI economics and ethics, and tools that amplify people instead of merely replacing them.

Away from work, I run a homelab, experiment with open source, and follow rabbit holes through mathematics, cosmology, art, music, and the beautifully strange corners of the internet.
