About Me Resume

I am a Boston-based software engineer with experience in the design, implementation, and operational excellence of back-end software products at global scale. I have a passion for precise, design-oriented software development (primarily in Node.js) mixed with customer-focused metrics and deployment (usually via Kubernetes).

In addition, I have been an avid potter at Mudflat Pottery School since 2018. You can view some of my most recent pieces here.
